Believe it or not, Pinterest is not just for future brides looking for the perfect centerpieces or home cooks seeking the best lasagna recipe. Pinterest is for the job seeker, too. Pinterest gives you the chance to explore career opportunities, access to an abundance of career tips and resources, the ability to connect with pinners who have similar passions, and a way to convey to followers your own talents and interests. Here’s what you can do to get started:

• Pin your resume. As a job seeker, you should not be afraid to get your resume out there. Be sure to tag your pin with specific search terms (i.e., graphic designer resume).

• Create a “My Resume” board. Creating a resume board allows for more elaborate descriptions by breaking up and segmenting the varying pieces of a resume into multiple pins.

• Search and pin career advice. From interview guidelines, to resume tips, to achieving your overall career goals, there is a pin for any and every question you might have.

• Follow, comment, and like employer boards.  This is a great way to learn more about the company, potential career opportunities, and to engage with current employees.

Start using Pinterest as a job seeker.  It can give you that extra edge to separate you from the crowd.
