Get A Job In Social Media

You know its funny but I use Facebook and Twitter as an enjoyable pastime. It is a way to relate to friends and colleagues. While I knew that social media was big I never knew quite how big. You know it is big when coporate america is finally getting on the bandwagon. Corporate America is on a hiring binge for people to manage a company's presence on Facebook, Twitter and similar sites.

According to a recent article from the Los Angeles Times, many people spend time on Facebook and Twitter while at the office. No kidding. They send out party invitations or chats about beer. They just do normal every day stuff. That I alread knew. I do that stuff myself. But unlike most people, they get paid for it. And they get a title.

Their job is one of the newest in corporate America: social media manager. It's also known, depending on the company, as social media wizard, social media ninja, social media diva or just plain online communities manager. No matter what word you uses to describe this position, its effort to help market in outlets like Facebook and Twitter are in demand.

No one knows exactly how many social media jobs exist, but a quick scan of online recruitment sites shows a bounty of businesses looking to hire.On any given week, there may be hundreds of new social media jobs posted on Monster.com for example.

For more information check out the article at  the Los Angeles Times . I think you will find it very interesting and might make you say to yourself..."Damn!, I want that job"
