What Makes Career Enlightenment Different?

Would you rather learn some new tricks about LinkedIn or learn frameworks you can use for your whole career regardless of the technology? Career Enlightenment is NOT in love with social media like many other firms are. Social Media is not a replacement for in-person networking, which is proven to be an effective method for finding work. Our tools are an extension of it.

Our social-media job-seeking frameworks allow you to extend your networking reach in powerful new ways.

With Career Enlightenment you will learn a 5 step process for identifying, repairing, and growing your online reputation so that you get unsolicited calls from hiring managers. You will learn how to actively use social media to get noticed and to get interviews.

Clients who employ the Career Enlightenment method get results fast: one client made a small change to his profile based on our framework and was contacted by 17 different recruiters the very next day.

A Case for Social Media Job Seeking

Did you know that over 300 job applicants apply for every opening on Monster.com? Not to mention that only 3.5% of jobs ever make it there in the first place.

How many times have you heard, “You’re over-qualified for this position,” and the very next day for a similar position hear, “We’ve found someone else with more experience”?

It’s frustrating!

These days, the world of corporate employment isn’t making a lot of sense, especially if you are playing the same old resume game. If you’ve ever received HR training either from school or from a recruiter, chances are their methods are already outdated or no longer effective in today’s down economy.

The standard advice is: make a nice resume and submit it online. Well . . .

Many companies post fake jobs, just to appear like they are growing, stringing applicants along until budgets oddly vanish, just before an offer.

Or even worse, managers have already made a decision but need to fulfill a corporate policy to post the job on their site for a week before filling it. So you might spend a day tweaking your resume and writing a cover letter, just to learn that the position doesn’t exist anymore.

By the time the job gets posted or announced, you are probably already too late!

Statistics show, and have shown for a very long time, that most jobs are awarded based on referrals. Social Media sites such as LinkedIn have over 40 million users and represent every fortune 500 company including their executives.What a great source for finding referrals.

Sites like these have allowed savvy job-seekers to expand their reach and enable them to get face to face with far more people in a much shorter amount of time.

But if you ask most job seekers, they’ll tell you that they don’t even have a 100% complete LinkedIn profile or have never used the site to get someone on the phone.

Maybe Social Media seems easy, but experience tells us something different

Successful job seeking requires an understanding of what is working in the job-market today as well as how to use social media in a way that really makes connections. There are trainers out there who will only teach you one social-media tool, and there are coaches who offer resume services. But when you stop to think about it, is their motivation to get you a job, or is it to get themselves more business?
