CALGARY | LETHBRIDGE | MEDICINE HAT

PET OF THE WEEK

Jorgia Hi, I'm Jorgia, a beautiful grey furred lady with gorgeous big green eyes looking for a relaxing retirement home. Since I am a mature gal, I'm past the kitten point of all that crazy running around, and I know the benefits of a great neck rub. I'm not a big fan of being picked up but don't worry, lap snuggles are all the rage these days. Once I climb into your lap we will be cuddling for a long time! When you are too busy for cuddles a cute cat bed in a sunny window, with a view of some birds would be just great. I think I would prefer to be the one and only in your home (pet-wise) as I’m looking for that low-stress lifestyle. If you are looking for a quiet, cute, refined lady who is looking for the good things in life, mainly a loving great human to call my best friend, then please come on down to Calgary Humane Society and meet me!

Age: 12 years

Sex: Spayed Female

Breed: Domestic Shorthair/Mix

Working Wise Dear Working Wise: How important is social media in job searches today?

Do employers even look?

Signed, Skeptical Dear Skeptical: Every employer and industry is different, but surveys show that many organizations are using social media to find and evaluate employees.

The Jobvite 2015 Recruiter Nation Survey found that 92 per cent of the 1,400+ recruiters they surveyed use social media to recruit new staff. And, 78 per cent of them said they find their best candidates through social and professional networks.

Do you have a work-related question?

Send your questions to Working Wise, at charles.strachey@gov.ab.ca. Charles Strachey is a manager with Alberta Human Services. This column is provided for general information.

CareerBuilder.com’s 2016 Social Media Recruitment Survey found that 60 per cent of the 2,000+ hiring managers surveyed said they are using social networking sites to research candidates.

You might be tempted to delete your online presence so they don’t find anything negative, but 41 per cent of respondents to the CareerBuilder survey said they are less likely to interview a candidate if they can’t find anything about the person online.

Obviously, you want your social media channels to be free of embarrassing and controversial content like: provocative photos, excessive drinking or drug use, discriminatory comments, criticism of current/past employers or co-workers, or poor grammar/spelling.

More interesting is that recruiters told CareerBuilder that they like seeing social media content that: • Conveys a professional image; • Reinforces your job qualifications; • Demonstrates you have strong communication skills; • Shows your personality will fit in well with their corporate culture; • Shows that you are a well-rounded person with a variety of interests.

If you want to know where to focus your energy, Linked, Facebook and Twitter remain the top-three social media channels searched by recruiters according to the JobVite survey.

Don’t let a poor social-media profile cost you your next job opportunity. Use these tips to start using social media to your advantage: • Google yourself and scan your social media for compromising content and remove it; • Separate your personal and professional social media lives into using different pages, groups or circles; • Use privacy settings to limit access to your personal channels; • Avoid blogs and forums about controversial topics like politics or religion. Use an alias if you can’t resist participating; • Create a Linked-In profile and start connecting with professional colleagues that you already know. Be sure your profile is consistent with your resumé. Endorse your contacts’ skills and they will likely endorse you.

• Participate—social media is about interaction. Follow professional blogs, join industry groups/circles on your social media sites and contribute opinions, interesting articles, news, trends, etc.; • Post projects you’re proud of and link your social media profile to the web pages or YouTube channels of groups, teams or projects that you are involved in; and • Follow your local Alberta Works (http://bit.ly/VrqyIs) social media channel to get the latest job postings and job fair news.
