Job haunting according to Wikipedia is the act of looking for employment, due to unemployment, underemployment,, discontent with a current position, or a desire for a better position. The immediate goal of job seeking is usually to obtain a job interview with an employer which may lead to getting hired.

The difference between this two is clear.

What job hunters in social media marketing do

1. They prefer having CVs only and not proposals, however a curriculum vitae is just a short document that describes your education, work experience, etc. while business proposals is a written offer from a seller to a prospective buyer.

A proposal puts the buyer’s requirements in a context that favors the seller’s products and services, and educates the buyer about the capabilities of the seller in satisfying their needs.

— WHAT JOB GETTERS DO —

1. They are committed

No business can survive for long unless employees have a personal investment in its success. Committed employees do whatever it takes to excel, even if it means taking on extra tasks, or staying beyond their allotted schedule. Savvy employers reward these work habits by offering chances for advancement — which reduces turnover, and attracts other applicants who are willing to show the same degree of commitment.

The grunt work involved in social media marketing can be tedious, and it’s not for everyone but it’s essential that you understand the time commitment involved in being successful in your online engagement strategies. If you’ve never helped manage a brand or company social media profile, find an internship to get a little experience under your belt before committing to a full-time position. However, you don’t necessarily need to have a prior paid job managing social media channels professionally, as long as you can prove you’ve been exposed to the trade and know what you need to learn. So dive in and and start practicing.

2. they go as far as Taking online course to show they are savvy about learning new skills

Are you aware you can be trained online for free as a social media marketer through programs like courser, alisons, udemy, and edx?.

3. They Target their potential employer with a social media ad campaign

As social media continues to grow as a proven marketing strategy, the marketing industry has seen an increase in clever and effective social media campaigns.

Many publishers and organizations have been compiling and publicly recognizing their favorites, and the top picks vary greatly in size, method and style. However, when you break down the details of various top-rated social media campaigns, you see that they often share some common elements.

social media campaign such as #JustSaidYes, taught  a number of important lessons about building a great social media campaign. Instead of running a broad campaign for all potential WeddingWire (my employer) users, with their lessons you will be able to identify a subset of your target audience and create a campaign that capitalized on existing social behavior on their favorite network: Instagram.

Also, One of the most direct ways to get a job in social media is to demonstrate your ability to target your audience with social media ads. Set up a simple website or splash page with your resume and your best video introduction and bullet points about why you are the best person for the job, and then target Facebook ads at the company where you’re seeking employment. Sam Solomon is one job seeker who used this strategy successfully.

be cautions however, that just setting up the ads is not enough. “The most important part of this campaign is your landing page. This is where potential employers that click your ad will be directed. Do not simply send employers to your LinkedIn, or Visual CV page. Great advertising for a product with a terrible presentation does not lead to any sales.” So spend some time learning about how to create an effective sales page and give this technique a try.

4. They Optimize their own social profiles and point employers to them

you should have an up-to-date and professional-looking personal Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter or YouTube account, and by doing these you should also

• Keep the About description up to 170 characters. Within this range you can also include a link to your web site as I did above.
• Fill in the other fields as well (mission, company overview, description, basic info, contact info)
• Select a username for your page so that you get a friendly URL i.e.
• Link your Facebook page from your web site.
• Update your Facebook page regularly either adding posts from your web site or sharing other interesting posts or images of others.
• Try to add as many fans to your business page. The more people follow your page the more exposure your new posts will get.
• Add the Facebook like buttons on your web site so that your readers can follow your Facebook business page or share your posts on Facebook.

Do same for other social media platform.

5. They Highlight their outgoing personality traits

“When companies are assessing job candidates, they’re looking for someone who is not only proficient in a particular function, but also has the right personality,” said Rosemary Haefner, chief human resources officer at career resource and job-listing site CareerBuilder. “It’s important to highlight soft skills that can give employers an idea of how quickly you can adapt and solve problems, whether you can be relied on to follow through, and how effectively you can

lead and motivate others.”

A multitasker. People are rarely hired to perform a single function. Especially in a small business setting, companies need employees who are willing to come out of their roles and do whatever is necessary, said Ron Selewach, founder and CEO of talent acquisition software company Human Resource Management Center Inc.

“A small business needs people who can not only tolerate chaos, but thrive in it,” he said.

2. A strategist. Career psychologist Eileen Sharaga said that every business needs a strategic thinker. Hiring managers want someone who can identify long-term goals, and has not only a vision for the future, but a plan to get there, she said.
3. A decider. People who can use their own judgment and take decisive action are valuable to any company.

Finally, when you apply for an open position, make sure your resume and cover letter reflect an outgoing and well-connected personality.
