Using Facebook for job hunting [simple steps]

We know all about the heavy hitters like Indeed and LinkedIn to help find the next step in a life change when it comes to jobs. What surprises us is the lack of knowledge regarding Facebook when it comes to job seekers [in our experience]. If you're not sure the best way to navigate Facebook to find your next role here's the most basic breakdown:

Navigate Facebook for jobs.

• Simply copy and paste this link > https://www.facebook.com/jobs

or

• Navigate to your "home" page and click "jobs" [it's usually on the left hand side with a briefcase next to the word jobs]

Next, you can narrow down your search in the box at the top that says 'search for jobs' with the magnifying glass next to it. Underneath that box you'll see options for location [and you can adjust the distance from your location here as well], job type, and category. You can search by job title or simple enter your location and hit the magnifying glass to see all the jobs in that suggested area.

Once you set your search you'll get some relevant results to look through. When you find a job that strikes your fancy simply click apply. You'll get a pop up that shows your information. Here you'll be able to add or adjust the information that said employer will receive about you. Once you've adjusted your information and apply you'll receive a message indicating that the job has been applied for. For an extra step - not required - you can reply to that message and attach a full copy of your resume if you don't think the information you provided is enough.

Pretty simple, right? Happy hunting!
