This seminar shows career practitioners how to use Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram to support clients, attract new clients, and market their business or grow their brand. We’ll specifically explore Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. You’ll practice and test different strategies based on the platform and type of outcome desired. Seventy-two percent of Americans say they use social media sites according to Pew Research. Plus more recruiters use social media to attract potential candidates. Learn how you and your clients can use these sites to grow personal brand awareness, uncover opportunities, and find information.
