They seem so silly, but these reasons are completely true. Starting is the hardest part of any project. However, social media platforms have made it ridiculously easy to start tweeting and posting within as little as 5 minutes. The benefits of social media outweigh the effort by far, and for many people, it's so fun! This is a big first step for most people in creating their personal brand.

I think there's room for providing a step by step approach to mastering social networking for job hunting.For first timers, the area seems to be a minefield. So while the bit sized chucks advice is sound, what are the chunks that should be bitten?

Facebook has helped me facilitate relationships with some of the media. Which I think it is good because I want to go into that field.

Twitter and Linked IN have helped me greatly and by using chats it helps build friendships with people who I might not have gotten to know.

It is a great way to network. Though this is about the fear of social media most of my friends who were leery have joined the networks.

The article is called "3 Reason's Why People Don't Use Social Media". The content is about resistance to it's use, not about it's use itself. The value of social media in the job search is a conclusion that everyone must come to on their own. I don't sell it, or don't mean to. Rather, my aim is to make it more accessible, meaningful and effective.

If you would like to learn about how to get a job using social media, you may read some of my other articles that deal with this topic specifically, which I think you will find very practical.

Just like this article states, break down a topic into smaller manageable parts. Master one at a time. Then put it all together. Learning social media is the same. Sometimes we need technical training, other times we need to get over our resistance. One of the great things about Careerealism is that you can find information about any part of your job search.

the final line says this: "If you want a job, the choice is clear. Use social media." but this doesn't follow from the article at all. The article says NOTHING about how to actually get a job. it just regurgitates accepted social networking and job-search dogma.
