Social Media and Your Career

Social media is not just updating what you had for lunch or the latest movie you have watched.

At this time sites like Linkedin, Facebook, Twitter and personal blogs are being used to find new employees and check up on your application.

Three things that you need to think about when using social media:

1. All the information you place online is in the public domain – (if you don’t want your parents to know it don’t post it)

2. Create and manage your profile – update with interesting details of your business life – let it be your online resume!

3. Connect, Connect, Connect – create relationships and add to the internet with your skills and knowledge.
