Social networking advice for job seekers and business owners -

Social networking advice for job seekers and business owners - One ironic thing about writing my book, Social Networking for Career Success, is the more writing I did for the book, the more difficult it was to put together a blog. I didnt want to share the same information I was writing in the book, and my inspirations for blogs were running low. Now that Im promoting the book, Ive been concentrating my efforts on trying to highlight contributors and blogging on the books website! Here are some recent blog posts Ive added to the books blog. I hope youll click through and take a look! How to use social networking for your business Highlighting contributors Tasti-D-Lite (@tastidlite) and Pizzeria Venti (@pvatl), this post reminds readers of key considerations when thinking about using social media to grow a business How to use job boards to prepare your social networking strategy This post highlights Chris Russell (@chrisrussell) and Susan P. Joyce (@jobhuntorg), experts on job boards and online job hunting. While job boards arent generally considered social media sites, they are an important part of many job seekers strategies, so I tapped my network of experts for advice for you. Also, learn how to use job boards to help you research and prepare your pitch. Chris interviewed me for a podcast on the topic of social media for job seekers. You can listen to the podcast by visiting the link HERE. Twitter helps grow your reputation This features my friend Hannah Morgan (@careersherpa), who noted, Twitter, more than any other social media tool, enabled me to establish a recognizable presence and brand online. I highly recommend that everyone even job seekers and business owners who do not have an interest in blogging experiment with Twitter. I agree with Hannah I love how Twitter helped me connect and become friends with many colleagues and contacts. Its an amazing resource for job seekers and business owners, which is why I devote three chapters to it in my book! photo by birgerking
