I am writing this not out of pleasure but what I see as necessity. You see when I started this blog it was to discuss all things within recruitment related to Social Media. The tables have turned a little and I am going to practice what I preach and show all the nay-sayers or doubters that Social Media is a powerful recruitment tool. I want to use Social Media from a candidate perspective to find a new job back in Melbourne, Australia.

That’s right, for those of you who know me I am currently based in Europe and due to Visa problems I need to return to my mother land. So my family will be happy to hear, via me directly not my blog, that I will be home for Xmas.

So why am I telling you all of this?

Well I have built up a nice little network of contacts within the recruitment market, via sites like LI and Twitter, and I want to leverage this to find a job that suits not only what I am looking for but obviously what my next Employer is looking for as well.

So how can you help?

Well there’s a few things you might wish to do. Maybe you might like to Tweet the link to this blog to spread the word. You might wish to add a comment to this blog giving your recommendation of your dealings with me to my future employer, or you might simply have someone that you think I should talk to.

The main purpose of all of this is that as someone who is entrenched in Social Media, just like yourself, I think it is important to use the methods that I say are important to include in your recruitment strategy in my own life as well. Practice what we preach.

So I turn it over to you, can you help me find a job in Australia in the social media recruitment space. If not then just simply wish me good luck.

My Resume

I will of course keep everyone up to date as to my progress, thoughts, and if indeed social media helped me find me my new job.

Thanks
