With the power of the Internet and various social media platforms, recruiters are trying new things to scout their next recruit. Most applicants are being lured with creative job postings in several places other than job boards.
Candidates today are more selective when it comes to looking for a job, and more recruiters are trying to showcase their company culture by posting through different social media platforms.
Here are some tips on where to find alternative job postings:
Company’s Career Page
This is where you can find job postings together with info on work culture. You can look for links to company social media accounts including Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn. These sites are a goldmine.
Hashtags
You can search hashtags on Twitter, Instagram or Pinterest using a job title or any job openings you may be interested in. You may have to search through a lot of different jobs, but you’ll quickly see how companies use social media to promote job openings.
Did you know that companies also use Pinterest to attract potential candidates? You can look for pinboards listing career opportunities and find out if any of the companies you are interested in working for are using this platform.
Check if companies are using Instagram—Some keep their accounts active by posting career news to lure applicants. Who says Instagram isn’t useful when it comes to your career?
This is a great tool to look for job announcements. Some of your friends or colleagues may be sharing a job posting or a company page highlighting a new opportunity. Make use of Facebook groups, too—It’s an effective way for recruiters to look for applicants.
Craigslist
This site also serves as an alternative to job boards; however—be careful not to share any personal information such as your address or social security numbers online. Don’t forget to check the background of the company and the people you are talking with.
These are just some of the social media platforms where you can look for your next job. You can use them to connect to people working for the companies you’re interested in, and potentially be notified of any job openings. Of course, referrals can increase your chances of getting interviewed. Use the Internet to grow your network as you start your journey to career success.

It feels like everyone has job search advice for you when you’re looking. And many of those people mean well. But too many times, their “interview tips” are outdated, stale, or flat-out wrong. For example, my Dad used to tell me not to turn down any job that pays me enough to make rent.
I know this is true because when I was a recruiter, I used to hear the same responses over and over again. And that means there are a lot of well-meaning people out there giving really cringe-worthy tips.
And in my experience, candidates who parrot these lines leave recruiters with no choice but to say, “Thanks, but I have no idea what this guy’s about.”
Here are a few of the biggest offenders:
When I was starting my career, this sounded like one of the perfect interview answers to show a recruiter I had zero weaknesses.
“OK, if I have one area for improvement, it’s that I work myself to the bone,” I’d say. And I’d leave a lot of interviews feeling really good about myself. Why wouldn’t companies want to hire someone who worked so hard that you had to kick him out of the office late at night?
Here’s the truth about this answer—if someone’s insistent on the fact that they’re perfect in every way, many recruiters will assume that you’re not self-aware. And no one wants to work with a person who thinks they’re flawless.
In fact, some of the best interviews I conducted were with candidates who were willing to share their weaknesses and how they’ve worked to improve. And that’s what the recruiter wants to hear from you when he’s asking this question. He knows you’re not perfect and he knows you’ll make mistakes on the job, what he doesn’t currently know is how you’ll handle those inevitable setbacks—and that matters a lot!
Here’s another one I assumed that I could simply drop in an interview to impress the recruiter. “This person works well on teams? Well we must offer him one billion dollars to convince him to choose us over the competition!” And sure, most companies want to hire people who know how to work in teams. After all, people who don’t have this skill are typically referred to as “jerks.”
The mistake here isn’t saying, “I can work well with anyone.” It’s saying that—and then not adding anything else.
Without an example to back it up, it comes off as something you read in an article and decided was a good thing to say. And again, while it’s a good quality to have, hiring managers tend to want to hear a story about how you worked through a tough situation as part of a team.
Because like the above response about weaknesses, this isn’t about you being perfect—it’s about understanding how you work when things don’t go as planned.
At some point, someone is going to tell you for the 1,000th time that you need to convince the company that it’s the only one for you. And when you come across a job that you actually want, this piece of advice makes perfect sense. After all, nobody wants to work with people who don’t want to be there. So because you know you’d love to join the team, you let your enthusiasm show. Big time.
And the best way to drive this point home? Lay on the flattery so thick that the recruiter can’t help but see that you belong there.
Even though interviewers want to know that they’re not just hiring someone who’s looking for any job, you do eventually have to get into the details. If you don’t mention a specific initiative that the company is working on—or even something that you found about its history on its website—your entire answer sounds like it’s based on an article you read about the company’s free lunches.
Interviews will never be the most enjoyable thing you do. And if someone tells you that a few quick one-liners can make them a little easier to navigate, you can take their tips with a few (or several) grains of salt. Because while you should focus on answering the questions as thoroughly as possible, don’t worry about saying the right thing at every step. Ultimately, your personality and your skill set will win over more recruiters than the pre-packaged answers will.

And no matter what level of experience they have, there is a common theme that appears. Answers to interview questions lack depth.
The purpose of interview is for one individual (the interviewer) to get to know another (the candidate) better.
They want to find out if the candidate sat across the table is right for the role and their organization. Do they have what it takes to contribute and add value for that organization?
You have to remember that an interviewer has a problem. They have a vacancy to fill. They hope that you as the candidate will be the solution.
The most popular way to find out if a candidate is right for a role, is to ask questions. To:
Most interviewers use the same or similar types of questions (21 Most Common Interview Questions). So it shouldn’t be too difficult for a candidate to come prepared with answers. Unfortunately, most don’t and often the answers provided lack depth.
These answers are far too generic. There is no substance to them. There is a lack of information given to back up the answer.
This relies on the interviewer digging deeper. They will
in the hope that they’ll get the answer that they are seeking. If that happens to you, you’ve not answered their question.
Don’t be one of them. Create depth to your answers.
How can you do that?
You can apply the ‘Rule of 3’. You can use and apply it for each of the questions (21 Most Common Interview Questions).
For each of the questions, think of a least of 3 examples. Most interviewers will not want more than 3 examples. They’ll then move onto the next question.
The Rule of 3 is a minimum. More than 3 is great too. It’s always worth having more examples to back up your answers. Here’s how to apply the Rule of 3:
You can apply the Rule of 3 to all the common interview questions.
Having depth to your answers will help you come across as a much more rounded individual.
You will show that you know yourself and have come prepared.
