There are currently 24 career professionals to follow on Pinterest if you are a job seeker or career changer!
Pinterest, when it blasted on the scene a couple of years ago, was considered one of the fastest growing social networks around, though not for the job search. At its heights in February 2012, I wrote a blog post asking the question What’s All the Hype About Pinterest?
Well, the dust has settled, and Pinterest still remains a very popular site. Its visually-pleasing structure allows users to create their own “virtual pinboards” or follow people with common interests. Not many people, however, thought it could be a useful job search tool, except probably for people in creative fields such as communication, marketing and advertising, where its relevance is easily seen.
Pinterest can be a useful resource for job seekers, and one little known pinboard that job seekers might be overlooking is Career Coaches Corner. Created by my colleague Maureen McCann, it now has 24 career professionals who consistently curate career, job search, recruiting and HR information for job seekers, career coaches, professional resume writers and others to use as a resource. Curated information appears mostly as “Infographics” giving a quick synopsis of a topic instead of having to read through a lot of text. Sometimes, below each pin the contributor may add his or her own personal take on the pin. It’s not all about the job search. There are motivational pins to inspire you when the going gets rough or others that show the personal side of each contributor. And the list is:
