City Calling: Making online recruitment social with our new Profile Picture function!

Feb. 18, 2015 - PRLog -- With a brand-spanking new feature bringing online recruitment up to date with the social media age, City Calling is innovating like no other jobs board!

The latest feature in question is Profile Picture, giving candidates the chance to boost their chances of finding a (new) job by uploading a picture of themselves. The emerging importance of prominent social media platforms such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter have established the core rule of this social media era- sharing is caring, including in online recruitment.

What are the benefits of our new Profile Picture feature you ask? We came prepared!

You need to do whatever it takes to differentiate yourself from others in a tough job market that will only get even more competitive. Uploading a profile picture is a quick and easy way of placing yourself above others that do not bother putting one up. Crucially, it makes you that much more visible to the employers you hope to secure a position with in the future.

Social media has irrevocably altered the rules of the game, to the extent that uploading a picture to your profile acts at a basic level to validate you as a person to other people and certainly to employers. It is now a no-brainer to upload a profile picture, as without one employers may wonder whether you have something to hide or even if you really exist!

A profile picture conveys your personality to prospective employers. Whether suit and tie businessman or funky creative type, your unique brand as a candidate is now a finely balanced mixture of the personal and the professional. A well-chosen picture is an invaluable aspect in selling your brand to employers.

The Profile Picture feature could hardly be any easier. Just login to your City Calling account, click on your account details page and the very first thing you will see is the circular box which you click and within seconds can upload the profile picture of your choice. Good luck!
