Market yourself on Facebook.
If you want to work in marketing, then chances are that you already have a Facebook profile. Nowadays, it's common for a potential employer to check out your Facebook profile before he decides to interview you, so you should make sure that your Facebook profile shows you to be a professional, responsible, and mature potential employee. Here's how you do it: [6]
Manage your privacy settings. When an employer looks you up, he should only be able to see your picture and some key information about you. Let anyone see information about your work experience and your mature Facebook photo, and hide those more "fun" photos for the rest of your friends.
If you really want your Facebook profile to market you, make sure all of your photos show your best side. You could become Facebook friends with someone who could help you get a job, so those photos can show you having fun at things like gallery openings or poetry readings, or doing something work related, but you should eliminate photos where you look obviously drunk or aren't appropriately dressed.
Try to have as many Facebook friends as you can. Many social media marketing jobs need a Facebook media manager and will outright ask how many Facebook friends you have.
If it's relevant, create a Facebook fan page. If you have a talent or a skill, you should promote it through Facebook to spread awareness about your work and to update your fans.
Market yourself on other social media.
If you want to work in marketing, you should not only have a Facebook page, but you should also have a Twitter and Instagram account. This will expand your social media skills and will also get you in touch with more people. Plus, this will prevent you from being caught in that awkward moment where you potential employers asks for your Twitter or Instagram username and you don't have one.
Many marketing jobs have a place for you to put a link to any relevant sites that can provide more information about you, or even a place to put your Twitter username, so you should take advantage of the opportunity to show as much about yourself as possible.
Think before you Tweet. Though you may have a brilliant idea for a dirty joke after you've had a few beers on a Saturday night, remember to keep it appropriate, even if your privacy settings are high.
Think before you post a photo. Though Instagram is an opportunity to show your followers what you've been up to, minimize the photos where you're in beach wear or have had too much to drink, just as you would on Facebook.
Try to get as many followers as possible by staying active and favoring your friends' Tweets or liking their photos on Instagram.
Market yourself by networking.
