Want to Get Hired for Social Media? Post This Weekly

🧠 The #1 mistake most social media managers make?

They post for clients, but forget to post about themselves.

If you want to get hired for social media management - whether you're freelancing, consulting, or offering packages - you need to show that you can do what you say you do.

The secret: post one authority-building piece of content every week that shows off your skills, process, or client results.

Here’s what to post (and how to do it quickly).

Today’s Business Example: A Career Coach Hiring a Social Media Manager

Let’s say a career coach is scrolling through Instagram or LinkedIn looking for someone to help with Reels, Pinterest pins, and scheduling.

They’re not clicking on Canva tips or trending audios.

They’re looking for someone who can show:
✔️ Strategy
✔️ Results
✔️ Process
✔️ Confidence

That’s what this one weekly post should deliver.

✅ What to Post Weekly: The “Client-Ready Confidence Post”

You don’t need to share wins daily - just post one thing per week that proves you’re ready to be hired.

Ideas:

• Before/after of a client’s feed with commentary

• “Here’s how I planned 30 days of Reels for a wellness brand in 2 hours”

• A tip or myth-buster: “You don’t need to post daily to grow. Here’s what I recommend instead.”

• Time-saving workflow you use

• A screenshot of a scheduling tool or engagement insight

Use a tone that’s friendly but in-charge. Think helpful expert, not humble intern.

✅ Format Options That Work

• Instagram Carousel with steps or tips

• Story with BTS voiceover

• LinkedIn post breaking down your strategy

• Tweet thread repurposed into a visual

• Quick talking head Reel with text overlay

✅ Bonus: Add a Soft CTA

Your post doesn’t have to scream “Hire me” - but make it easy for someone to reach out.

Examples:

“Want help batching your content like this? DM me ‘batch’.”
“If you’re a coach looking to simplify your content - I’ve got you.”

🎯 Why This Works

• Builds trust through consistency

• Makes your skills visible (not just your client results)

• Attracts the right kind of client who values strategy, not just pretty posts
