Social Media and the Job Search: Ten Trends - Part 8

Technology has been a game-changer in the past 10 years, and you better believe it is transforming career development
by Chris Kulbaba

 8. Time management
Using tools such as social media or looking for information online can quickly eat your day, taking productive time away from job search efforts. Dashboards such as Hootsuite (hootsuite.com) can help you use a single tool to listen and hold conversations in up to five social media channels, all for free. I prefer Hootsuite to other dashboards because it is web-based, so I can access it anywhere there is an Internet connection.

Chris Kulbaba is an Employment Counselor with the London Employment Help Centre in London, ON. Chris regularly delivers webinars for Conestoga College in the CDP program, offers his services as an expert speaker, facilitator and coach on social media topics, and is creating a new career development tool “Career Card Sort” – but takes the greatest pride in being a dad and a loyal family man. You can find Chris on Twitter, LinkedIn, Skype, Facebook and at his new website/blog launching in January 2014 better-together.ca.
