Recent statistics show that only one in five people in the UK search for jobs on social media networks leaving the UK near the bottom of the global rankings in 25th place. However it seems that now more than ever we should be developing a strong online presence on the many professional social networks available to us and take advantage of the opportunities they have to offer to stand out from the crowd!
Try starting by simply making yourself a LinkedIn profile where you can upload your CV, add personal achievements, build your connections and get recommended by your colleagues. This will enable recruiters such as us to view your profile and portfolios and contact you about suitable opportunities for you future.
You can now also follow Park Street People on Twitter and Facebook to keep up to date with all the latest recruitment news and vacancies and hopefully and do your bit for the UK's rankings!

What did we do before technology!?
Park Street People learnt the hard way last week when our rooter crashed and we were inexplicably launched into what can only be described as blind panic! No internet, no emails, no contact with the outside world through our online safety blanket! How will we ever survive!?
Well after hours of trying to sort the problem Park Street People's consultants went back to old school recruiting! It's all about using your resources, keeping pro active, thinking on your feet and yes using that strange thing we sometimes take for granted called the telephone! With social media, e-marketing and e-commerce gone mad whatever happened to smart, down to business conversations?
Our directors were thrown back into old and possibly not fond memories of faxing and hand delivered CVs but we soon found that by using our time effectively and speaking to people that we could overcome any unwanted obstacles and come out on top! It must be said though I think we're all glad we're finally back to full strength! So what are you waiting for!? Come and see us face to face today with your CV or pick up the phone and come one proactive step closer to finding the right job for you the old school way!
