Although the country is finally coming out of the recession that plagued it for the last few years, the job market remains highly competitive. Anyone planning to embark on a job hunt in 2015 must find creative ways to stand out from the crowd. Here are three job search trends likely to impact your career pursuits in 2015:

Social Networking

Social media isn’t just good for keeping up with your classmates from high school. In today’s competitive job market, candidates are increasingly turning to the social networks to find career opportunities. To stay at the forefront of this job search trend, make sure your social profiles are professional and up to date with links to any outside websites or blogs you operate. You can also link to news articles and blogs relevant to people in your field. Following these best practices helps you increase your friends and followers, ultimately widening your professional network.

Blogging

These days, it’s not enough to have a great resume — you also need to find ways to stand out from the rest of the job-searching crowd. Blogging about your area of expertise is a great way to showcase your knowledge to potential employers. As an added benefit, you may be able to earn some extra income as a guest blogger on other people’s websites.

Videos

Looking for a unique platform to present your professional skills? Consider making a brief video to showcase your abilities. Already used by dozens of recruiters, videos are great, visual ways to reveal your skills and accomplishments. Thanks to modern and affordable smartphone technology, it’s easier than ever to create a video. Post a video on your LinkedIn profile and include links in emails you send to potential employers.
