How Social Media Can Speed Up Your Job Search
Remember the days of snail mail, where you put a stamp on an envelope, walked out to the mail 
box and had faith in the United States Postal Service to get your resume to the company addressed on the envelope in a timely manner? Then you had to wait for the company to respond. The whole process could take anywhere from 2 days to a week. Well I don’t, but that’s because when I was ready to enter the workforce email was just starting to become a household name. Much faster than snail mail, you would attach your resume to an email with a cover letter and hit send. Within seconds the hiring manager would see you resume and be able to respond to you. Now that I have a few years of work experience under my belt, yet another method of communication has made way into the spot light, Social Media.
With Social Media job seekers are able to post their resume on their profiles, set a status update stating they are looking for a new job and voila, if they are good at what they do their inbox will be filled with companies hiring. If interested, Social Media sites like Facebook, Twitter, Myspace and LinkedIn (just to name a few) allow users to be found with a quick click of the submit button. Based on a recent study by Nielson Online, a company that measures online audiences, Mashable featured an article stating that social media has become more popular than email. In fact 66.8% of Internet users across the globe accessed “member communities” last year, compared to 65.1% for email. With two-thirds of the world’s internet population visiting these social media sites, job seekers have a larger reach and a greater grasp as to what is going on out in the marketplace.
Being an active user of these different platforms aids in the speed for which you conduct your job search. Social media allows you to:

Facebook – Keep it Professional
If you have an account on a social networking site like Facebook or Myspace, your life is an open book. When it comes to a career standpoint, what you put on those sites can effect how you are portrayed as a professional. I read an interesting fact on the Facebook blog, posted by Mark Zuckerberg:
“150 million people around the world are now actively using Facebook and almost half of them are using Facebook every day. This includes people in every continent—even Antarctica. If Facebook were a country, it would be the eighth most populated in the world, just ahead of Japan, Russia and Nigeria.”
With the growth and popularity of these sites do you need to separate your personal from professional life or can they all be combined as one? BINC TV discusses why you should keep your profiles professional to a certain limit.
I have read stories of potential employers and colleges looking at Facebook profiles of their applicants as a way to check their background. Companies have even fired employees for having posted inappropriate things on their profiles. It actually does happen; Virgin Atlantic fired 13 flight attendants for criticizing the airline’s flight safety standards and degrading their passengers.
Heidi Sullivan of the Cision Blog offered 10 tips on how to avoid a professional embarrassment on Facebook:
- Keep an eye on tagged photos. Both MySpace and Facebook give you the ability to untag yourself in photos -- even if someone else posted the photo. Though the photo may still be out there, employers will not be able to search for those photos of you.
- Keep private comments private. MySpace, Facebook and Twitter all have the option to send private messages to your friends (on MySpace, use Messages, on Facebook, use your Inbox, and on Twitter, use Direct Messages). Don’t leave Comments on MySpace, Write on a Wall on Facebook or send a Tweet on Twitter if you don’t want others to see it.
- If necessary, keep your page private. All of the sites mentioned above also have options for keeping your entire profile private, so if you can’t help but broadcast your latest exploits to all of your friends, isolate it to that: your friends.
- Watch what others are saying. If someone leaves a comment that you wouldn’t want everyone to see, delete it. They won’t be offended, and if they are, just explain that you are keeping your page clean.
- Check social networking sites often. If you neglect one of these sites, friends might be tagging you in photos that everyone shouldn’t see, writing about your nights out on the town or worse. Keep up-to-date on what they are saying and doing by logging in regularly. You can also set up email notifications to inform you when there’s activity on the page.
- Don’t drunk network. In the days when all a partier had to worry about was drunk dialing, the embarrassment was isolated to those in your phone book. Signing on to social networking sites after a night of drinking can result in embarrassment in front of the whole world.
- Don’t say anything negative about your employer, your company, your product or service. We all need to vent about our jobs sometime -- but keep those complaints private. Nothing will turn an employer off quicker than negative or insulting comments about the company.
- Job seekers should have a professional email address. If you have a ‘fun’ email address tied to your social networking page (like sexyguy23@gmail.com), don’t use that email address on your resume. In fact, don’t EVER use an email address like that on a resume. Create a professional email address for your job search. That way, if your potential employer searches for your MySpace or Facebook page by your email address, they won’t find it.
- Remember who your friends are. Many times we add friends to social networking sites who are coworkers, supervisors or others we have professional relationships with. Don’t forget that you’ve added those friends when you post comments or photos that you don’t want people at work to see.
- Continue to be yourself. Employers understand that your personal page on a social networking site is just that: your personal page. While you don’t want photos or comments that would be unacceptable in the workplace, it is totally fine to have content that may be outside of how you normally behave at work.
So overall to avoid problems, do as Grant said in the video blog: follow the general rule of dinner table etiquette -- don’t talk about religion, politics, or sex. Staying away from these topics will not give potential employers bait to judge you. Since companies do use social networking as a background check method many times you make a first impression long before you even show up for the interview. Why not make it a good one.
I would like to know what the readers views are on the use of Social Networking sites?
- Is it ethical for universities or employers to view your profile and make decisions about you before you ever meet in person?
- Should users keep two profiles, one for personal friends and one for professional purposes?
- What is appropriate and inappropriate material to keep on your profile?

What does the future behold??
So I just came out of watching Wall-E, you know that cute little robot movie, and it really got me thinking. It made me amazed about the work that I get to be doing – I get to work at a company that literally has an overview of everything going on within technology. It’s pretty amazing actually. We get to work with brand new development teams working on technologies that I couldn’t even dream of. We get to represent start-up companies that when I tell people about them I myself have to laugh because their concepts and ideas seem so far-fetched at times. It really makes you wonder about what the possibilities are for the future. Will technology continue to advance at the rapid pace that it has throughout the future? Or will the billions of people and the overpopulated world that we live in eventually act like an anchor for our technological drive?
If I had to guess, I’d definitely have to go with the first one. I think the best part of my job is not only the fact that I get to hear about all this amazing ideas that people are creating, but I actually get to talk to the genius minds that develop and implement these ideas. It’s one thing to go “hmm wouldn’t it be cool if I could be typing this on the beach in Thailand and still get back in time to go to work in the morning” and it’s another thing to actually go out and make it happen. It’s truly amazing the work that the individuals that we speak to on a daily basis are able to achieve and it’s pretty extraordinary to think about what else they will be doing in the future.
I think that that’s what’s going to keep technology moving at the rapid pace that it has been recently. The bright and genius few that are able to go out and literally change the world with the work that they do. There aren’t many people in the world that can say that, but it seems like within the web world, every player is able to affect tons of people with the work that they do on a daily basis. The thing is, we’ve only just reached the surface of the realm of possibilities of what could happen with the Internet. What else will be created with the massive amount of data being collected and with the intense interconnectedness that is seen throughout the world?
Think about it, five years ago when you were trying to find information on some of the people that you went to elementary school with, you had not the slightest clue on how to do so. Now, it’s quite easy, you type their name into Facebook’s (or Myspace, Friendster, Classmates, etc etc) search bar and voile they appear. Now, not only can you find out what they’ve been up to and what they’re doing now, but you can talk to them, message with them, and for all intensive purposes become friends with them (well, except for the fact that they’re probably on the other side of the country).. but that’s the beauty of it… is that location just doesn’t really matter anymore.
All I know, is that I’m hoping that I’ll still be involved within the tech market 5 years from now, 10 years from now, 40 years from now – just for the sole purpose of how amazing it is to watch the progression and to only dream and imagine the possibilities for the future.
10 Hot Girl/Web Company Comparisons
Candidates and Clients are always asking us; who’s the hottest company in the marketplace, what companies are on the rise and on the decline, how are certain companies perceived in the eyes of the marketplace and other such questions surrounding the “who’s hot” leader board of the web world. We have strong opinions to all of these questions and often debate this not only with our clients and candidates, but amongst ourselves as well.
Truth be told, I can’t remember how or why we started comparing top web companies to top female celebrities (I kind of wish I had a better story for this). I think it started as an inside joke between my brother and I when we would actually get into some pretty heated debates over which web company and celebrity is hotter in the public eye and who’s best matched up together. And then when other people heard our debates, more fuel would be added to the fire and it all pretty much spiraled down hill from there. So after months of random debate and no clear resolution, I did what any good manager would do in this situation. I held an official meeting (after hours of course), bought some booze to foster the flow of creativity, turned off the phones and I refused to let anybody leave the room until the perfect matches were decided on once and for all.
So after a ton of laughs, a few too many drinks, some very heated arguments and a near office wrestling match 
, we finally came up with our official comparison of the top web companies to the top female celebrities (watch out Maxim). We hope you have as much fun reading our comparisons as we had coming up with them. Just one caveat, please don’t take them too seriously – we definitely don’t. And if we missed a good comparison or you can think of a better one than we came up with, please let us know – we’ll post all comments and ideas. Enjoy!!!

Google: Is it time to jump off the bandwagon??
Climbing Mount Everest, Ballooning around the world, getting a Google employee to leave….They’re all pretty similar in my mind….While being a BINC Research Associate surely has its perks, nothing truly puts a smile on my face like the “call as many Google people as you can” days. Ah yes, the true love of getting hung up on, yelled at, ignored, given fake emails, given times to call back and getting flaked on or even the good ol’ fashioned “I’ll call you back later” – yes definitely nothing beats Google calls days. Of course there are always the couple nice guys (or gals) that hear me out, and I’ve even got a couple to consider leaving but for the most part it’s a rough day. But all of this got me thinking… why is Google so special?? And even more importantly, why should employees leave now before it’s too late??
Listen, don’t get me wrong I love Google, I use it all the time and they have hired some of the most brilliant minds in the industry, but hey, people are leaving and I’m here to make sure you know why. First off – Why is Google so special??
5 reasons that I’ve compiled from talking to current as well as former Google employees.
5. Great perks – Amazing free gourmet lunches and dinners, swimming spas, child daycare centers, laundry machines?!?, and the list just keeps on going
4. Brilliant minds at work – Not only are some of the smartest guys on the world employees of Google (Vint Cerf), but they have regular guest speakers (Hans Rosling, Barack Obama) and regular tutorial classes that help employees continue in their education, even when in the work world.
3. Innovative, creative, “paradigm-shifting” – Google Maps, Gmail, Google Docs, Google Images, and off course – Google Search. Each one of these services and the many others that Google offers to its users are all very cutting-edge, forward-thinking services that have literally shifted and changed the world that we live in… Wow, ok, let’s not get too carried away here, but they are definitely “front of the line” services.
2. Its fun, exciting, and energetic – Google employees love being around individuals as smart, or smarter, then they are. They feel that they can thrive in an environment and feel that they are truly changing the world. Plus, employees get 20 % time off to work on their own personal projects – letting them truly enjoy being at work.
We offer our engineers “20-percent time”so that they’re free to work on what they’re really passionate about. Google News, Google Suggest, AdSense for Content and Orkut are among the many products of this perk.
1. It’s the top search company in the world – and who doesn’t wanna work for #1.
That’s all great and exciting, but let’s be lets be honest, there’s always the “but…”
5 reasons why Google employees are slowly (but surely) starting to leave.
5. Commuting – When Google was doing great people had no problem commuting down south from
4. Stock troubles – Minus the bump that they recently saw due to their above-expected earnings report, the stock went from a high of 747.24 in November to a low of 412.11 only 5 months later in March. Their stock has received tremendous growth over the years (if only I bought their IPO at $85…), but we all know that tremendous stock growth doesn’t last forever (YHOO – 108 in 2000 to 4.67 in 2002, Sun – 253.88 in 2000 to 10.36 in 2002, etc. etc.)
3. Although Google is exciting, many Google employees that joined post-IPO missed out on their big hit - Many employees are leaving to either jump on board of a “hot” start-up before its too late, while others are creating their own. A few are listed in line below.
- Facebook/MySpace – Social Networking has taken over the Internet and these two are at the forefront.
- Ooyala – Founded by ex-Google employees – Bismarck Lepe, Sean Knapp, Belsasar Lepe. They provide a distribution of high quality video content and they have currently raised 8.5 million in funding
- FriendFeed – Wow! A whole company comprised of ex-Googlers!
- PowerSet – Natural Language Search – This is just one of the many next-generation Semantic web companies that are starting to emerge. Web 3.0 anyone??
- Rentbits – Founded by ex-Google employee Dan Daugherty. It is a vertical search engine for real estate rental information.
2. Dare I say, Corporate Culture – Google has constantly prided themselves on their open, social environment but many people feel that Google has turned increasingly “corporate”. The environment in which engineers were able to create their own products and services is decreasing since it has to go through a full review process that can take months before the product is released to market. Although engineers enjoy being creative, they might as well create a product/service that they can monetize on their own.
Erick Schonfeld, writer at TechCrunch – “Is it me, or is innovation at Google slowing down?”
Some examples of Google lacking process can be seen with Opensocial, Android, or just take a look at this list and see how many you’ve ever actually heard of.
1. Google not a dream job anymore – A couple years back people used to dream of working for Google. And sorry to say guys, but it’s just not like that anymore. There are so many great opportunities for people to get involved with that Google doesn’t have to be an option. When Google was the revolution, it was the most amazing thing on the market, but it’s not that anymore. It’s still good but the critics are slowly starting to come out in full force and the employees are listening. With such a plethora of options available, and issues around Google increasing –the flow of employees leaving Google that has been seen recently will continue to pick up.
Server Issues, Political Issues, Copyright Issues, Personal Privacy Issues, Online Storage Issues.
This is a list that continues to grow and employees are ready for something new, something exciting, and for many – Google just isn’t it anymore.
MySpace adding a developer platform, What does this mean for Facebook?
The hot news today is that MySpace is adding yet another option on their popular social networking site allowing developers to create applications for users. What does this mean for Facebook who already has these applications implemented into their growing social networking 
site? Probably nothing because Facebook will continue to be a viable ecosystem for third-parties to develop and promote their applications. The good part about MySpace opening up a developer platform is that it will keep instill some competitive energy into a social networking market that seems to have stagnated over the past year.
As of today, Facebook is one of the few companies that has actually been able to recruit top talent out of Google. This makes for an interesting comparison because to date, MySpace is not even close to being able to recruit people out of Google. I think it has to do with several issues. Facebook is an technology-centric company with business as a secondary focus, whereas MySpace seems to be more a business-centric company with innovative technology as a secondary focus. The second reason that Facebook can draw more attractive talent is that MySpace has already materialized an exit and therefore anybody who joins MySapace has no shot at hitting it big with equity. On the other hand, Facebook stock is very appealing to top engineers because at this time, Facebook has the best shot at being the next big technology IPO since Google (I predicted this and am sticking to my claim).
For sure even if MySpace begins offering equity , it won’t matter because I can’t imagine anybody caring about owning stock in Fox. But maybe this developer platform will be the first step in MySpace’s attempt to become more engineering-centric and actually try to give facebook a run for its money when it comes to releasing innovative and compelling products to the market.
