I'm a Careers Adviser at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland, and I'm a little bit obsessed with how useful social media is for university students. There are so many ways it can help you to figure out your first career steps, profile yourself well online, network with people doing the job you would love, and get the edge in your job applications and interviews.

For a long time, I didn't "get" social media. I went to a talk on how jobseekers can use it one day and ever since them I've been helping others to make the most out of all that it has to offer. I see first hand all the time how incredibly helfpul it is for the students I work with every day.

I wrote "Social media for your student and graduate job search" so I could put all the tips and insights I have gained over the years in one place. I know what works, and I want every student to have the tools to make social media work for them too. So if you're not too sure how best you can use platforms like LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook to help you in your job search, this book is here to help you figure it all out.

I'm on Twitter at @mariellekelly and would love to hear from you if you have any feedback or questions!
