Congratulations on your son's gra...Hi Andrea, <br /><br />Congratulations on your son's graduation! <br /><br />While the job market isn't the best right now, here are a couple of tips that might help. <br /><br />Your son should definitely set up a LinkedIn profile and start connecting with local and national advertising agencies. This will put him on their radar and he will also be able to keep track of any job openings. LinkedIn also suggests jobs you may interested in based on your experience. Connecting through other social media channels such as Twitter and Facebook is also a great way to interact with companies and get on their radar, but be mindful not to overload them with tweets and posts. <br /><br />Other job portals like Indeed, Monster and Simply Hired can also be helpful.<br /><br />Good Luck,<br />VanessaVanessa ThinksInkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11225955005147086045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6911770383824852413.post-44665157194271211552013-05-23T20:19:35.761-04:002013-05-23T20:19:35.761-04:00I totally agree that the lines between social medi...I totally agree that the lines between social media, traditional advertising, and PR are blurring. <br /><br />My son just graduated from UF with an advertising degree. It doesn't look like many agencies are hiring, though he has a good portfolio. :(<br /><br />Any ideas where he should look to get his foot in the door?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
