Slide 2: Who am I…?
• • • • I live in Copenhagen, Denmark I have worked with online media since 1997 I have written 2 books on job search I try to do as I preach (most of the time ;-)
What Social Media has done for me, so far: • I am #1 on Google (Danish keywords) • I don’t (need to) write job applications • I get to work with like-minded people • I get invitations to hold presentations • Reporters call me to write articles on job search • I learn, I grow and I have fun! This is my story on my first social media journey…

Slide 3: My first journey: Building my reputation as ’expert on
how to use online media for recruitment and job search’
• I launched my blog in 2009 (in Danish)
http://mariannesteen.wordpress.com
• I used a lot of content from my book
www.soegjob.net : http://www.soegjob.dk
• I knew that jobseekers are looking for cases
So I published examples of cover letters and templates for CVs
• My goal was to be No. 1 on Google within my niche

Slide 5: Do you enjoy writing job applications?
ROI for job applications?
• How much time have you spent on writing job applications for advertised jobs?
Do you know...
• How many/ who are you competing against?
• And on which terms?
• When you get a ”NO!” – do you know WHY?

Slide 6: Applying for job ads means…
– You have to pretend you match what the company wants – You spend hours on producing content
to get 10 seconds of attention - once
– For every ”No”
– you have to start from scratch again
Frustration: Frustra in latin means ”in vain”

Slide 7: Social media as job attraction tool
• Social media enables you to build your own media platform – for free • Every time you publish, you add value • As time goes by –you benefit even more • Bonus! Learning by doing makes you a social media manager (adding a career opportunity)
