Using Pinterest for Job Search – Candidate view


In my previous post, we discussed about how to use Pinterest for Job postings – a Recruiter view.   Now, let us see how Candidates can use it for Job Search.
Create Resume Boards: Resume pin board should be created highlighting the achievements.  Creative jobs like designers, Infographics, Social media experts, may want to create different resume boards for different activities that they participate in.  Make sure that your board name contains Resume so that it is easily searchable.  For resume examples, click here.
Be Active on Pinterest:  Update your resume and other pin boards in Pinterest with latest information and achievements.  This shows that you are active and throws more light on the latest happenings in your world.
Job Search:  You can search for companies and/or job title within Pinterest.  Recruiters will be posting jobs to Company Pin boards. For example, click here to see the search results for Software Engineer.
So, have you created your Resume pin board yet ?
