How social media helps job seekers succeed

Boosting views of tech-savvy adaptability

Authenticity and pitfalls of oversharing

Various platforms to show skills and interests

Planning and engaging on social media

Can mid-lifers breathe new life into stale careers with social media?

Synopsis: Every first Monday of the month, listen to the Work Talk podcast to help you work smarter, think deeper and get ahead in your work life.

Will a leap into social media rain new work opportunities for a stale middle-age career? Will being on TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and more show the boss that mid-lifers are still in tune with technology and on-trend?

Join me and my special co-host, senior transport correspondent Lee Nian Tjoe in this episode of Work Talk. We will explore the potential of social media for mature careers that need a second wind.

Our guests are Mr Walter Lim, founder of marketing agency Cooler Insights, and Ms Jessly Chew, an associate director at recruitment agency Michael Page.

Together, we will delve into the possibilities, pitfalls and planning for mid-lifers who are curious about putting out their first TikTok or YouTube video, Instagram or LinkedIn post.
