Use Social Media In Your Job Search To .. Put Your Best Foot Forward
02/17/2010
Out of work? Pink slipped? I've been there and done that. No matter the reason being for being down-sized or right-sized the results are the same .. it's a loss on so many levels. Especially in our economic times finding your next corporate home may not come quickly.
Finding a support system is not just helpful but can be critical to expanding your network and providing emotional support. Recently, my friend Linda asked if I would talk with the amazing women of C3G - an Atlanta suburb networking group - about using social media to support a job search.
I wanted to frame social media in a way that most women could relate to .. so Girlfriend, I built our conversation around .. shoes! Talking about social media should be fun .. don't you agree?
We spent some time discussing how social media tools can be used to create a digital bio that can represent you far better than a static paper resume. In the digital world there is a greater opportunity to leverage your special style that distinguishes you from others in the same field.
We talked Jimmy Choos to help determine digital personality. Try it!
- Question 1: What type of shoe fits your personality?
- Question 2: How will your "shoe image" influence 4 elements of your digital style: Content Direction.Tonality. Expectations. Boundaries?
Thanks to everyone including @cbsongbird @irishgal11 @pmurrey Linda and Sharen for coordinating!
