There are some great social media thinkers here in Australia. More importantly, there are some great social media "doers". And over the next few years I expect there to be a real demand for agencies who have real experience in this space and a NEED for professional and corporate marketers to understand how exactly you can integrate social media into your planning while delivering solid returns.
One thing that I do know, is that social media is about "connectors" ... those people who are able to join the dots across different types of messaging, communication style and media. They are storytellers for a new age.
But how do you find these folks? Sure, you could look at Twitter. Or you could reach out to a blogger or two ... but what if you are new to social media? What if you have a job that you need filled but don't know where to look?
I may just have the answer for you.
SocialMediaJobs.com.au is a new site that I have setup to "connect the connectors". The aim is to provide a meeting space for those with roles, with those looking for work. It will continue to evolve and grow ... with specialised content on the SociaMediaJobs.com.au blog site designed especially for job seekers.
Both posting a job and applying for a job are FREE.
So what are you waiting for? Post your social media job now!
Done and dusted! Nice idea. (Wish I'd thought of it first)

Sweet!
I spent a month in Sidney a few years ago and I was amazed by this city, probably one of the best places to work and to live.
