To get these types of jobs, Elliot explains that the employers are looking for the soft skills “a lot of employers are looking for the soft skills, those are dedication , commitment by showing up five days a week on time.”
Preston Lilly, a staffing consultant for Express Employment says “it’s beneficial to using social media to help get yourself out there and show off what skill set that you have.” Lilly would go to talk about how she would reverse search a particular skill set and most times than not, would find someone through social media “I like to use social media to find people suitable for a specific job by reverse searching through Facebook, which I think is the direction workplaces are trending towards, so it’s very important to make sure that you have all of your information posted, and keeping your profile clean and presentable.”
