	Jason Alba, JibberJobber: LOL I tell job seekers to stay away from Pinterest… for now. Unless you are in certain industries or professions, it’s a waste of time.
	Tory Johnson, toryjohnson: job searching is personal. Connect on mutual interests. Showcase your personality on your boards. Demo expertise in social
	Hannah Morgan, careersherpa: Pin your brand in pictures and words! Include links to professional and not-too-personal interests.Think in terms of key words and be active. FYI…wrote a post about what pinterest says about you
	Chandlee Bryan, bestfitforward: Write an anecdotal resume that tells your career story
	Jason Seiden, jasonseiden: Be profersonal–mix some personality into your professional ambitions!
	Jennifer McClure, jhjmcclure: create a visual resume via Pinterest to share!
	Wendy Terwelp, knocks.com: Whatever is put online should be on brand for you and your career goals – beyond the job search. Jobvite survey last year stated 89% of recruiters hire through social media. Pinterest is new. Growing fast. Can impact Google search results.
	Alison Doyle, alisonmdoyle: Show off your taste in peer work, pin infographics related to your specialty, and create a base of links to great articles. More Pinterest job seeker tips
	Melissa Cooley, thejobquest: Choose items that reflect professional POVs. You can have boards/pins of a personal nature, but too much of that doesn’t .get your message across. Your brand gets lost in the shuffle as a result.
	Susan Strayer, evvivabrands: As a job seeker, use Pinterest to learn more about brands you’re interested in. We showcase our team and brand personality.
	Joshua Waldman, joshuawaldman: Publish good stuff
	Cyndy Trivella, cyndytrivella: Great opportunity for creative types to connect & showcase their work.
	Margo Rose, hrmargo: Create an infographic resume & post it there.
	Mark Anthony Dyson, markadyson: A quote from an interview that a job seeker had from a thought leader in his or her field is impressive to employers i.e. thought leaders in the job seeker’s industry, along with an image that captures the essence of the quote.
	Neal Schaffer, nealschaffer: Pin websites you regularly read to keep up on your industry or profession – impress hiring manager & become a resource.
	Karen Siwak, karensiwak: If you are a visual thinker Pinterest can be useful, but don’t lose sight of the purpose behind the pictures.
	Jacqui Barrett-Poindexter, valueintowords: Pinterest is professional, light-hearted fun. Show spirit, enthusiasm and energy with your pin imagery. Beware of over-pinning; behave organically and naturally, yet strategically. Think before you publish.
	Heather Coleman Voss, heatherecoleman: My favorite tip is to create boards that reflect your career interests and add value. Add a board that incorporates your own blog posts, too.
	Jennifer Scott, hireeffect: Use boards to help demonstrate who you are to a potential employer. Include work and professional interests. and be sure to include key words in the pin descriptions.
	Jacob Share, jacobshare: Create pin boards that show off your work portfolio, reflect your expertise and let you network with similar people & company reps.

Compliments are Free

Years ago, while scrolling through Facebook, I read something posted by Sarah Peck. And I’ve never forgotten it.

Sarah is one of the most encouraging people I know online and she always makes me smile. Her post was a simple, life-changing thought:

“Facebook ‘likes’ are free. It doesn’t cost you anything to hand them out. So go for it.”

Sarah was offering a quick commentary on how we use Facebook. It doesn’t cost anything to click “like” on somebody’s photo, status update, or new Group page. So do it. I mean, why not? Be an encouragement to someone by clicking the like button (and now the “love” or “wow” button). You’re already scrolling through Facebook anyway.

Her simple post changed how I use Facebook. I used to just scroll and scan, but now I click “like.” It’s a simple way to tell somebody that you noticed them. The same principle applies to Instagram and Twitter and Snapchat and Youtube.

It also applies to podcasts and books and apps. In fact, one of the most important things you can do for a podcaster, author, or app developer is leave a positive review on their product. That’s why, if you interact at all online, you have almost certainly been asked to leave a review. Those are important—and again, totally free to hand out.

If you enjoy a podcast or new app, leave a positive review. If you read a good book, leave a 5-star review on Amazon or Barnes and Noble. If you read a blog post, leave a comment or share it. These simple actions cost nothing, take only seconds to complete, and provide valuable encouragement to the author/creator. It’s a simple act with a huge impact.

And in an Internet world with so much negativity, shouldn’t we be passing out as much positivity as possible? (tweet that)

Of course, Sarah’s advice extends far beyond social media. Perhaps, even more importantly, her thoughts extend to our in-person relationships as well.

Compliments are free. It costs us literally nothing to use kind words. So why not use them as much as possible?

It’s nice to receive long, thoughtful, drawn-out compliments, but not every kind word needs to be this way. Sometimes just one short sentence can be enough to change the entire course of somebody’s day:

• “You did a good job.”
• “It’s nice to see you.”
• “That’s really funny.”
• “You are so thoughtful.”
• “You are one of the kindest people I know.”
• “I’m glad I get to work with you.”
• “You look really nice today.”
• “You always brighten my day.”
• “I’m proud of you son.”

Each of these compliments take only seconds. And they don’t cost anything to hand out. So just go for it.

In a world full of negativity, everybody can use a little more positivity in their lives.

Besides, you are a beautiful person. And a compliment from you would mean more than you know.
