Thing 4 Social Media

Prior to this assignment, I have set up both a Facebook and Twitter account. I'm not a huge Facebook user (too many mundane comments that fill up the wall) but I can see the potential for putting yourself in a positive light for potential employers. One way is to have a public profile and use that strategically or as a "personal branding tool". Keep your posts and photos squeaky clean. Join groups and link to blogs (contribute to blogs if you can) that are interesting, professional and relevant to your career goals. Use your Facebook profile as an online resume and let your Facebook friends know when you are job seeking.
