Vann’s, a Montana based home electronic and appliance store, is looking for someone to manager their on-line community through social media sites. The way they are doing this is forward web 2.0 thinking and part of a good social media marketing plan. I’ll describe just what they are doing:
They are advertising the position through social media sites. I came across the job posting on Mashable.
They have set up a Ning social networking group just for the hunt called, Vann’s Community Manager, at community.vanns.com. The site is set up for applicants to join, share about themselves (like their qualifications). This is also where the full job description is and instructions on how to apply.
As part of the application for the position Vann’s has also asked the applicants to create a 60 second video to, “Show us and tell us why you’re the best candidate for this job. Entertain us.”
The next part of the application process is for the applicants to use their social media skills to spread the word about their video and get people to watch and vote for their video.
Later, in September, they will be choosing someone for the position.
If the plan works as they have laid it out, the exposure from the applicants should help spread the word and advertise for Vann’s. Such as this post. You see, I have applied for the job. I think it is a fun social media strategy and one that I think is perfect for such a job.
So in my own shameless self promotion, check out my video and vote – I would love all the votes possible. Also feel free to share it as much as possible. Thanks!
I am also a XX fan who really like this! I also like XX, and purchase lots of it every time, always11 like-minded friends can have a look ,we can communicate by the way~~
Thanks Dean. I am sure if it people could telecommute on this one there would be a lot more applications. For me the appeal of Montana is quite high so it is good; closer to family and the mountains I love.
