Social media use says what resume can't to recruiters

Imagine this: you have not applied for a single job, yet someone is ready to hire you, sight unseen.

How can this be? Actually, this scenario is entirely possible nowadays, and the reason is social media. Employers and recruiters are checking you out more than you probably realize. Depending upon what they learn, they decide whether or not to get in touch with you.

Maybe they heard about you from a network contact and decided to Google you, which led to your blog. Maybe they did a LinkedIn keyword search to find someone with your skills. Maybe they’ve noticed your tweets on Twitter.
