Sonru Video Interview Preparation

Have you ever heard the expression “it’s not what you know but who you know”.When it comes to the job search “who you know” can make all the difference.

So here goes Tip#4 you need to get connected! By this I mean you need to expand your professional network. This used to mean attending job fairs and functions which may have proved costly due to travel expenses, registration fees and bed and board. However similar to Sonru with its remote video Interview service, companies like linkedin and worky.com have removed these costs and you can now get connected on the web. These Social networking sites specialise in getting you connected and more and more employers are turning to these to recruit. Thus if you’re a job seeker my advice would be to get your profile up and running and to get as connected as possible. I’m sure its not unusual for employers to check for your profile on other social networking sites such as Facebook or Bebo, so be wary to block these from public view or clean up your page i.e. remove any outlandish photos of your Hen night.

The use of social networking sites, for recruitment or to find potential employment is a new concept for me but I wouldn’t underestimate how powerful a player it’s becoming in the recruitment process. In recent days I joined twitter and Linkedin if anyone has any tips or advice on how to build up my connections on these, I would be very interested to hear them. I will be back tomorrow with Tip#5.
