Authors: Mark Logan, Joe Grigsby, John Kreicbergs
Each and every one of us owns a personal and professional brand that we must manage. From digital natives to technophobes, from advertising junior creatives to CEOs, we now must embrace the role that online social media tools can and do play in shaping that brand. Looking for a job? Want to make new professional connections? Or simply wondering how you can amp your online image? Then come and learn the how-tos, don’t-dos and self-branding horror stories around LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter.
People, who did not grow up in the Internet Age are often afraid to use Social Media in their Job Search. They either do not know enough about; can't see how it applies to finding a job; and often just plain fear it. This presentation is very basic and addresses most of these concerns. It's just enough, but not too much for older workers to understand and manage.

Everyone SAYS you have to network, but how do you do it effectively and not waste your time and theirs? Here are 5 ridiculously easy hacks to make your networking time turn to gold.
Ever get the impression that Facebook, Twitter and the like are just "for the kids"? How about us old folks, you know, people over thirty. Can we get any value out of this social networking "stuff"? Sure we can. This presentation runs through some of "the stuff" (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIN), and shares some considerations for using them in a safe, effective manner, whether it is to build and promote a strong personal brand online, maintain a strong personal and professional network, or all of the above.
This is a presentation delivered at NASHRM in September 2010 by Dr. Daniel Crosby. It talks about the psychology behind talent selection and how creating barriers to entry can actually increase the quality and satisfaction of new hires.

2. Relax. Have fun. Nothing to buy! Leave your comfort zone at the door Ask me anything (almost) 1% of the Fortune 500: Capital One, Amazon.com, Microsoft, Starbucks, Yahoo When I started in the recruiting business, we still used snail mail, fax machines were cool and the Cosby Show was the top TV show!
10. Tools of the trade. LinkedIn Twitter Other social and professional networks Facebook Email Corporate Websites Slideshare or DocStoc Blogs and other places of interest on the internet Google Reader Calendar Spreadsheet or tracking list
12. Let’s talk about fear Rejection Doing it wrong Failure Looking “stupid” “Getting caught” Appearing desperate Success Stalkers and evildoers
13. Living a digital life Online activity supports offline events You determine the degree of openness Opt-in means you always have options Trepidation, confusion, overload is the norm! Direct correlation between contribution and reward It’s as if we have flying cars! Think of the difference in mobility and speed! You are early adopters! You can’t break the interwebs!
15. LinkedIn checklist Complete your profile Link with contacts Look for jobs Join groups Research companies & individuals Manage privacy settings
16. Resume & interviewing Reverse chronological resume Focus on achievements, if you don’t have any, start at the bottom Give me 3 examples of significant contributions to your last employer What was your worst day at work? Know what you want to do (feel free to change your mind any time!)
17. Complete your profile Include your picture Be as complete as possible Definitely your email address! Ask for recommendations from colleagues who know your work Update your status or link with Twitter Include your profile URL on your resume, in your email sig and on your blog
18. Make connections Start with people you know: Me, Christina, this class Colleagues and former colleagues Neighbors and relatives FOF (be targeted) Everyone you meet in the interview process Scan your email for new contacts Vendors, salespeople, bloggers, everyone Write a personal introduction Add 5-10 contacts a week (or more!)
19. Look for jobs Build relationships Build relationships Build relationships Build relationships Build relationships Build relationships Build relationships
20. Build relationships Your success depends on it You will have to talk to strangers Relationships are 2-way Have you shared anything lately? Content does not have to be original This is a messy, unquantifiable process Start online, connect offline, then connect again online
21. Share awesome, helpful content Share articles and blog posts that your colleagues will find helpful or interesting Share awesome photos and videos Whitepapers, blog posts, slide shows Promotions and awards “How to” articles Use a tool such as Google Reader to curate articles
22. Join groups Find groups in your industry and your profession Corporate and school alumni groups Local and national PARTICIPATE Start your own group Manage group updates Connect with group members
23. Research Find and “follow” your target companies Make key connections, starting with your inner circle Review job postings, ask a first level contact to refer you, if appropriate Research connections. Who are they? Where did they work before? Who do you have in common?
24. Manage privacy settings Visibility is good You have the right to build a professional network Remember, you’re networking, not “job hunting” Review profiles first. Do not accept connections if you do not feel comfortable There is a .00001% chance something bad will happen. There is a 99% chance something good will happen.

Editor's Notes
Not just job search.WORK has changed.CollaborationCommunicationCross-cultural understandingNo one will ever “train” you to use technology ever again!Not just the pace – it’s how things get done
Moving from a linear environment to chaos and inconsistency
It’s not going to happen that way.Networking is how it will happen. From now until the end of your career. Get used to it.Start keeping track of your contacts – online and offline. You can’t have the whiff of resistance if you want to compete in today’s job market.Companies don’t know what’s next, they need someone who can roll with the punches -competition used to happen in the executive office -now a random tweeter can become the “face of the company” and effect a turnaroundYou have 3 choices:Wait for something that resembles what you had (and risk losing time, money or never finding it)Go off on your ownGet in the game. Get energized by the digital age!
Don’t EVER stop doing this.Sharing and research.
