Social media has taken off massively over the last few years, with the likes of Twitter and Facebook etc occupying a percentage of our daily lives. So it makes sense to explore this avenue when looking for a new job. It is a good idea to make a list of a few companies that you would like to work for, once you have this, visit their Twitter and Facebook pages (if they have one). You can use this avenue to contact an employer initially to ask if they may have any positions available, but even if you don’t do that it is a great way to see what is currently going on within the company and how they promote themselves.

If you already have an interview with the company then again I would recommend looking through their recent activity over the last few months, as employers tend to like it when people have taken the time to research their company.
