How people search for their jobs is changing. Half of all job searches carried out on Indeed.com today will be on mobile devices (a trend that’s risen by 17% in the last year alone). In fact, across the globe, the mobile job search rate is as high as 83% in some countries. – See more at: socialtalent.co Today I’ll be looking at mobile job searches from the point of view of the jobseeker. https://niria.in/twitter-tips-for-recruiters-from-the-jobfairy/ Tue, 16 Sep 2014 15:46:18 +0000 https://niria.in/twitter-tips-for-recruiters-from-the-jobfairy/ So far, a whole bunch of you have read my first efforts at de-complicating the process of recruiting on twitter in my How to tweet a job vacancy post.

I have over 3,400 followers – mostly a mixture of jobseekers, recruiters, and companies I’ve retweeted who follow me to be nice. I try to retweet as many Irish jobs as I possibly can. How I do it is to search twitter for tweets tagged with #jobfairy or #irishjobs – then I run through them and retweet the ones that fit my criteria. https://niria.in/the-good-ship-jobseeker/ Fri, 01 Mar 2013 21:16:00 +0000 https://niria.in/the-good-ship-jobseeker/ I sent this poster off with a recent application. I’ll let you know how it goes 🙂 Applying for a job? There are many of us in the job application boat at the moment, and some are dealing with it better than others. I find it absolutely gut-wrenching to put myself forward to be accepted or rejected. I absolutely hate doing it, but I’ve been out of work now since I took redundancy in September, so it’s time to pimp myself out to prospective employers.
