Facebook, Tweet, and Link Your Way to a Career: A Roundtable on Social Networking
Tuesday, October 27, 2009
Greywood, 6 p.m.

The way you use social media can help (or hurt) a job search. LinkedIn, Twitter, and email etiquette can reshape old fashioned networking into an invigorated, focused career search. How can some social media tools be used for competitive career-building advantage? What are the most powerful features of these tools -- and what should be avoided? How do individuals manage their own, personal, online "brand" -- and why? How are hiring managers, human resources departments, and recruiters using Web 2.0 to connect to the best candidates? What are some email dos and donts? Attendees will leave with immediate, practical advice for starting a professional network and creating an online identity to kickstart a job search.
