Getting your job ads on LinkedIN automatically
01 year ago
By now I am sure most, if not all of you are on LinkedIN, building your networks, joining groups and contributing to the ever exploding numbers of followers. I’m also sure that you are spending a lot of time managing your different networks, tweeting, facebooking, posting job ads etc. Wouldn’t you like an easier way?
As you are still reading, the answer must be yes.
What you’ll need:
- A LinkedIn Account (free)
- A Thirst4work account (free)
- A Twitter account (free)
We are assuming all of these have been created.
STEP 1
Login to your linkedin account and hover over your name in the top right hand side of your linkedIn screen. Click on the settings menu item.
Scroll down to the the Profile settings where it says Twitter Settings and click on this
STEP 2
Click add twitter account and a new window will open from Twitter asking to link your twitter account. Follow the onscreen instructions.
STEP 3
Your Twitter account is now linked to your LinkedIn profile. Ensure all tweets are displayed and enable rich text tweets.
STEP 4
Login to your Thirst4work account, and if you haven’t already linked your twitter account you will see a small Twitter icon and a button saying authorise. Click on the authorise button and allow access or enter your twitter details. Your Twitter, Thirst4work and LinkedIN accounts are all linked.
FINAL Step
Start posting your job ads on Thirst4work and they will automatically be Tweeted to your followers, our followers, LinkedIN and on Thirst4work. If you really want to show off, you can use the free plugin to have your jobs displayed on your blog or website. Learn how to do this here
