Why Following Companies on LinkedIn is a Good idea for Your Career in Mining Job Search

Posted on September 12, 2012 by admin

So what is the new Company Follow feature on Linked and why is it beneficial for the Jobseekers?

As a LinkedIn user you can now follow Mining companies that have a Company LinkedIn profile set up. It’s quick & easy, you simply have to select the “Follow” button on the companies’ profile.

Please note you don’t necessarily have to visit the companies profile directly as if you are connected with someone who is associated with that specific company you can activate the follow feature that way as well.

What happens once you are following the company: well you can be among the first to know about the companies new developments, business opportunities and even job opportunities. Here are some examples of notifications you can read about, employees leaving a company, joining, being promoted, top locations for employees and press mentions.

So why is it beneficial for the Jobseekers to use this newest “Follow Company” feature on LinkedIn?

Well let’s say you care for a specific position with AngloGold Ashanti Company or other any other Mining company, following these companies will give you the insights you need in order to potentially apply and get the job you are seeking for.

Although following & being informed is just one part of the process you must also be prepared. For if and when this position becomes vacant, you have the advantage of being part of the first to apply so acting quickly can definitely help your odds of getting the position.

Receiving these company notifications can also help you get a better picture of the company culture, having a clearer picture can give you some confirmation of how reliable they are.

Having an insider look at the employee promotions and turnover, can give you a pretty good sense on the reliability of the company and if you still wish to work for this organization, this can really save you a lot of heartaches. Important information especially if your desired Mining position involves relocation to another country.

Another great benefit of following a company on LinkedIn is that it gives you instant attention from the company themselves. And how does this work? Well by following them the system send an instant notification to the page admin and most importantly your profile is NOW listed as followers of the company. (This as great potential for exposure don’t you think?)
