<strong>Prepare</strong> <strong>For</strong> <strong>Success</strong><br />

a few weeks for referees to respond, so it is important to request recommendations right at the<br />

start of your job-hunting campaign so your recommendations will be visible to prospective<br />

employers who may be deciding whether to interview you……..or not!<br />

Up until now Facebook has not been that important a tool for job-hunting or for business in<br />

general; it has been used more for personal entertainment and communication. This is changing<br />

now and you will find that more and more forums are networks, giving you the ability to access and<br />

comment on discussions using your Facebook login and post this activity to your Facebook profile.<br />

This means that employers can now check your profile to see how knowledgeable you are about<br />

your profession and, importantly, to see how well you can engage in professional discussions.<br />

Facebook can be a great tool for you to market yourself professionally, but be warned – an<br />

unprofessional, poorly managed Facebook presence can ruin a great opportunity for you and<br />

take away the job you really want.<br />

Make sure you use the I Got Hired TM guides to creating and managing a Facebook profile that<br />

will support, not hinder, your job-hunt.<br />

Preparing <strong>For</strong> Work<br />

I Got Hired TM doesn’t just stop when you get hired!! I Got<br />

Hired TM stays with you after you accept the offer you were<br />

The preparation checklists will make sure you tick every<br />

box but the key is the I Got Hired TM 100 Day Planner tool<br />
