Generic search string to find Social Media Specialists

Build search according to your needs:

  • -job -jobs -sample -examples, to avoid irrelevant results
  • (intitle:resume OR intitle:cv), to discover candidates’ online resumes or CVs
  • (“social media specialist” OR “social media marketer”), to cover variations of the same job title

Here’s an example of a generic Boolean search string for a social media specialist that you can further modify to find resumes:

(intitle:resume OR intitle:cv) (“social media specialist” OR “social media marketer”) -job -jobs -sample -examples

When running this command in Google, you’ll get results that include the words “resume” or “CV” in the page title. Excluding more terms reduces false positives.
