Joshua Waldman: Job-Hunt's Social Media & Job Search Expert
As the author of “Job Searching With Social Media For Dummies,” Joshua Waldman is a recognized expert on the topic of using social media for job search. He writes and speaks about personal branding, online reputation, and advanced social media job search strategies. He also runs CareerEnlightenment.com, a successful career blog.
Joshua is a consultant and entrepreneur who teaches technology and marketing skills to job seekers to help them get noticed and ultimately find jobs. He has been using social media to enhance his career, and the careers of others, since 2006 and has worked with unemployment office staff, MBA career center staff, and countless unemployed and frustrated job seekers.
A graduate of Brown University, Joshua earned an MBA at Boston University’s International Management Program. Joshua’s interest in social media career advancement developed as a result of combining his life-long passion for technology and his extensive training in job search strategy as an MBA.
When he got laid-off twice in six month, and bounced right back into good jobs, he quickly realized that his philosophy and strategies were powerful enough to help not just his own career, but the careers of others. This experience, combined with 5 years experience as a social media strategist, career consultant, and blogger gives him a unique perspective on these online job search techniques.
It is Joshua’s hope that by sharing his knowledge, others will re-gain a sense of control over their careers, find clarity on how to use social media more effectively in the long term, and rekindle their passion for why they got into their industry in the first place.
