Presentation created by Shawn McGowan from JobsInTheUS.com for Social Media Breakfast Maine (SMBME) on the topic of Using Social Media for Recruiting, Hiring and Job Searching. 6/29/10
Grew up in East Millinocket at the foot of Mt Katahdin Graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) Degree from the University of Maine Presque Isle in 1999. Moved to Portland Area in 2000 Over 10 years in Sales & Customer Service Keeping CS first, I provided honest opinions from their “go-to guy”. I took this attitude with me into B2B sales at JiUS. I wanted to be guy that people came to mind when companies were considering hiring, even if they were using someone else to advertise. Similarly, I want to my company to be the thought leader in communities that are concerned with our industry, our business. Online, doing what I do now, this approach translates directly in my mind to Chris Brogan’s concept of “trust agents”.
We use social media to enhance YOUR recruiting, hiring, or job search.
