Social media is a fabulous tool, but as a recruiter, I see that social media has the same limitations that the newspaper, job fairs, job boards and company websites have. They are so flooded with resumes that only the best stand out and sometimes, they too are missed.
People hire people they like. You can train a person how to do a job, but you cannot change their personality. A piece of paper doesn't always communicate the personality or the dedication you may bring to the table. Social media a good way to open a door for yourself. Use it, but get in front of people, too. Get involved in the community that employs you. Join a networking group, or go to the association meetings. By all means, find a good recruiter!
Bottom line? Utilize all of your networking options, don't just depend on one.
