It’s no secret that jobs in social media are becoming more prevalent in nearly every industry nationwide and even globally. A quick search on Indeed returns nearly 30,000 openings in the United States alone.

But what might not be obvious is what, exactly, young professionals should do to position themselves for these emerging roles. And no, it’s not enough just to have a Facebook Page.

During the last several weeks, I’ve talked with dozens of hiring managers who have recently filled these types of positions.

Boy, do I get fed up with ageism! At least ten times in this article, the author says the applicant must be young young young young ( ad nauseum )!!

Well, I am 61 and I manage social media for a magazine. In just two weeks, I increased our Twitter followers about 300 %! My blogs are so popular, they have been posted on other people’s websites. I could run circles around any twenty or thirty something!

Ageism is cruel but even worse, it prevents employers from accessing a goldmine of talent out there.

And, by the way, nothing replaces the serious talents and skills of people with a lifetime of expereince – That is Gold, Baby!!

Hi Whitney! I’m really looking forward to the webinar. I have optimized my social sites and I’m looking for more tips. I have a background in public relations and was wondering if making correlations between the transferable skills between PR and social media would be helpful in landing a position in the digital sector. Thanks!

YES! Optimizing your Linkedin profile is an amazing way to get noticed by recruiters. Another great tip is to join groups that recruiters are likely to be a part of (like the largest Jobs networks or ones that focus on jobs in your field) — this will ensure that you are 1st or 2nd level connects of many recruiters via a group association and thus more likey to appear when they search for people with your skill sets. Remember that when recruiters search for you, you may not appear unless you are at least a 2nd or 3rd level connection and have a profile that is 100% complete!

Ha, yes, probably Adam! That’s why it’s a good idea to stay on top of trends and keep thinking about how to innovate. But this idea is still pretty new and my guess is that very few recruiters have really seen a candidate target them for a job.

Good tips, Whitney. At any point do you think an applicant using a “social media campaign” to get noticed by an employer will be passe?

Hi Ragina! Thanks for catching that timing typo. The event is 4-5pm EST, and I just corrected it on the post here. Looking forward to having you participate in the webinar on April 5!

These are great tips!! I’m registered for the webinar on April 5th and I can’t wait to hear more information. I noticed that you listed the webinar being at 8-9pm but when I signed up it said it would be 4-5pm and so does the above boarder. Has the time changed?
