Career Corner @CRC1029fm November 10th 2014 thinking about your digital footprint and how employers are viewing it

Mark McDonald, Career Coach, Sli Nua Careers Ltd, talks to Aidan Crowley of Community Radio Castlebar –  a series of career tips interviews that will be broadcast each Monday on CRC-fm at 5.30pm GMT.

Topic:

Employers are using social media to recruit. Will they find you?

Let’s face it, we live and work within a digital era. Maybe now is the time to think about our own digital footprint and ask the question, will my next employer find me?

Mark recently attended the CIPD (Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development) annual conference and exhibition in Manchester. One very obvious theme at the event was the increase in the use of social platforms within the recruitment process.

So, how can they find you?
