CNN.com and Careerbuilder has a great article for everyone that spends plenty of time each day updating your Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Ustream, Linkedin, MySpace, Jobster, Friendster, Ning or another social media page. If you know how to Podcast, Design and Develop Websites and Media, knowledge of RSS Feeds and there potential, get Twitter traffic and followers, then you may be the SOCIAL MEDIA GURU that some employers are in need. Social Media is a great way to locate jobs, but if you are a specialist, like I believe I’m starting to become, then here are some possible jobs that you can apply for:

Jobs for Facebook Addicts

If you’re a social media guru, here are five jobs to consider in your next job search:

1. Recruiter

Candidates have been on social networks for years now, and it’s about time recruiters joined them. Daniel says Dan Temps’ recruiters can find candidates faster, screen them better and reach out to individuals they wouldn’t see otherwise.

“Dan Temps believes that the environment candidates are accustomed to in a social network will keep the conversations and information real,” Daniel says. “Candidates don’t feel they are being pressured in that environment like they would in a more formal interview or screening process and are more likely to get real with our recruiters.”

2. Strategist

Many companies are seeking social media strategists to find the best way to interact within various social sites and online communities. In this role, you would be the face of social media for your company, creating and maintaining an effective social media strategy by interacting with users, growing brand awareness, creating buzz, increasing traffic and providing valuable information. To thrive in this position, Durbin says you must have a proven track record of achieving goals, or companies will be hesitant to hire you.

3. Enterprise architect

“This is the most exciting job in social media and requires someone with broad experience in networks, multiple platforms, development, security and political infighting,” Durbin says. “This is a very rare find. It’s for companies looking to completely revamp their content management strategy and internal networks. It could be the most important role in a company in the next five years.”

4. User operations analyst

For any company with an online presence, user experience is one of the most vital parts of the business. The only way to monitor that is to have someone in charge of the experience themselves. No matter if the company is blogging, has a Web site or pages on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, user operations analysts interact with users, answer queries, investigate problems and keep track of user habits.

5. Director of social media

Similar to a strategist, companies need someone to organize company blogging, viral marketing, podcasting, etc. This person has a background in building teams and who really gets the promise and the purpose of social media, Durbin says. These folks should be wary of new technologies and be all over blogs, RSS, have Facebook and Twitter accounts, and know the difference between his or her employees playing and researching on MySpace and YouTube.

So if you can’t get a job in your “chosen” profession, it might be time for you apply your Social Media skills to “today’s hottest market”; therefore, rework your resume and APPLY, APPLY, and APPLY!

Searching for social media jobs

You might think that finding social media jobs is difficult but many of these positions under a variety of job titles that don’t include “social media.”

Try searching job boards and the Internet for “social media,” “interactive marketing,” “new media” or “branding manager” and you should get a good start in the right direction.

Remember, use your “Job Skills”, Luke!
