Editor's Notes

- CLARIFY: how this applies to them personally/professionally and how it applies to their clubs, or at least clarify that the session shows how they overlap or focuses on one more than the other.

- According to a new survey from CareerBuilder Of the employers who do not research candidates on social media, 15 percent said their company prohibits the practice Eleven percent report they do not currently use social media to screen, but plan to start
- What might be surprising is social recruiting is more likely to get you hired, plus it can help you stay employed longer. Jobvite recently released a survey showing more people get hired from online referrals and company career pages than from job boards. As shown in the infographic below, almost half of the social recruiting hires remained in their positions for over three years.
- It only seemed appropriate to take this question to my Twitter followers. So I did, and here’s a bit of what I got back.
- Throw money at it? Not exactly.
- Just post lots of cat photos? Maybe.
- Or puppy pics?
- Those answers aren’t entirely wrong but I had something else in mind.
- Now we are getting there!
- Got it. Social media is wicked important. So what’s the best first step.
- Who here already has a (professional) website (not a blog, not a linkedin page)?
- Here is an example, my website on the about.me website.

- There’s a lot of social media sites out there. But for the purposes of today we aren’t going to chat about them all.
- As we all know, people act differently on different social media sites. FB is for showing off to your friends and family. Tumblr is for shade.
- CareerBuilder.com study found that more than half of respondents cited inappropriate photos or information and 44 percent mentioned the posting of drug- or drinking-related content as reasons for turning down a job applicant. Remember, just because your Facebook profile has privacy settings doesn't mean you're invisible online. Some companies direct their own employees and interns to snoop around and use all kinds of channels to get access to information.
- Same or similar picture/handle/bio, interests, types of content you post, etc.
- In other words, Slideshare helps your profile become more visible not only by putting you higher in search rankings in the search engines and LinkedIn, but by providing engaging content your potential audience wants to see when they do reach your profile. Talk about a win-win scenario. Slideshare is FREE.
- Go beyond traditional info like your title and board memberships. The more you fill in your profile, the higher search rankings it gets in Linkedin, and the easier it’ll be for future networking connections or employers to find you!

- Google themselves and see what they can find about themselves. There are websites that help them rank their contents on Google searches (such as https://brandyourself.com might be good for them to consider ranking what contents they want to keep when potential employers or grad school people search.
