This means, that by following recruitment agencies and job sites such as Reed, Jobsite, Monster etc..you are going to have regular job opportunities appear on your news feed. With regards to recruitment agencies and even some companies, you can even send them a message directly to find out whether or not they have any available positions at the current time. This is an easy way of job hunting without leaving the comfort of your own home! Not too mention its free, you can't go wrong....


Twitter - With 310,000,000 users a month Twitter is the second most popular social media site. Giving you 180 characters to get your thoughts across, Twitter has taken the world by storm. You can find just about anything on Twitter using the famous hashtag symbol '#'. By searching something as simple as '#jobs' you can get millions of results come up with all different job opportunities. Again, companies utilise this. For example, lets say you were looking for a job in London, you can search 'London Jobs' and get a ton of results. You will even be able to find recruitment agencies and job sites to follow and receive regular updates. Twitter even allows you to subscribe to get notified when a particular account posts a tweet. Sounds easy right? That's because it is!


LinkedIn - LinkedIn is now the third most popular social media site with 255,000,000 users a month, putting it above Pinterest and Google+! LinkedIn is purely business based. You create a profile, almost like a virtual CV and you can find jobs AND people can headhunt you! The good thing about LinkedIn, is that is finds jobs for you.
