As some of you may remember, I’ve had some experience with using Twitter and Social Media to find a new job. I’ve been asked to speak about my experience a few times this month.
On September 9, I will present Tweet Your Way to a New Job to the Greater Seattle Jewish Business Network. The event will be at 7:00 at Seattle’s Temple Beth Am is at 2632 NE 80th Street. The presentation will answer:
- How to use social networks like LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter
- The importance of personal branding
- Is the resume dead?
- Which networks work best?
- How to make connections that matter?
- Who do I turn to for help?
- What should I ask my friends to do?
- What are some potential roadblocks?
The following week, on September 18th, I will give a similar presentation at the Internet Marketing Conference- Vancouver. This is a great conference that I highly recommend, especially if you’ve never been to that beautiful city. Now you have a great reason to go.
On September 23, I will also make the presentation to the Eastside SIG of the Puget Sound American Marketing Association (PSAMA).
Finally, it’s not too late to vote (but please hurry, tonight is the deadline) for the panel that Saul Colt and I would like to give at SXSW, Tweet Your Way to Your Next Job.
I hope that by sharing my story and experience, I can help some people to navigate social media and find a new position. I hope to see you at one of these events. Please let me know you’re coming. Also, please share your experience in using social media as part of your job search below.
Once it’s complete, I will post the presentation to Slideshare. Stay tuned.
