Another tip for job seekers is networking.

“To me it’s one of the most important things a job seeker can do,” Chris Borja said. He founded ‘Become A Better Networker’ and believes the key is getting out there and meeting people.

“You don’t need to just go to job fairs to find a job,” Borja said. “There are so many networking and job opportunities. you can go to the chamber, the number of different networking groups in town, you can go to the different non-profit functions. Anywhere there’s people,” he said.

Both Hooks and Borja say having a LinkedIn profile is crucial. They say it’s one of the top places recruiters use, and they encourage job seekers to use the hashtag #ONO to help get noticed.

“It just means open to new opportunities,” Borja said, “And there are many recruiters who will actually look up hashtag ONO and it will pull up everyone who is open to new opportunities.”
