You might be familiar with the classic job search tricks: working on your elevator pitch; tailoring your resume; knowing your stories; and of course, networking.

But in today's world of work, networking - especially for those working on building their social capital - often depends on one major factor: Social Media.

In fact, recent studies show that 92% of companies are using social media in talent management, with as many as 75% of hiring managers looking up candidate social profiles.

Here are a few quick tips to get started:
- Create posts on your feed and engage with others regularly.
- Follow, reshare, and comment on content from influencers in your target space.
- Use hashtags from your favorite companies and accounts and even create your own!
