A Movement to Help the Unemployed #HireFriday

A Movement to Help the Unemployed #HireFriday Margo Rose, HR Margo, @margorose, started the #HireFriday movement to help job seekers. You can find her full explanation here.   Because many wont click through, Ive lifted the key points from her post below. HireFriday is a special place where we can shower job seekers around the world with attention, extol their virtues, bolster their self-worth, and let them know that we care about their transition.   The following guiding principles have been developed with the job seeker in mind.  Please be respectful, taking into consideration that the HireFriday twitter stream, and facebook page was developed with them in mind. Post your resume, and linkedin profile to the #HireFriday twitter stream or: Post the job seekers @name/desired job title/industry preference/location/descriptive and targeted key words. RT the job seekers in the HireFriday stream to your followers on twitter, and friends on facebook. If you think a position might suit the job seeker in the HireFriday stream, tweet a job their way, but don’t put it into the twitter stream. Post interesting career development articles that will help job seekers accelerate their re-employment. Post encouraging quotes to help job seekers keep their spirits up. This is what the #HireFriday search on Twitter turned up this morning.   It is so worth your time to check this out! I run across job seekers that are not comfortable yet with Twitter.   They are either doing their best to learn how to use it or are Anti-Tweeters and refuse to open their minds to the idea.   Twitter is an amazing tool.   Ive written about its value and use here. This post is to help spread the word about #HireFriday.   It is a generous way to help highlight, attract and serve job seekers that need it!
