Document Summary
All about social networks; who you are personally and professionally. Step 1) actively build your brand: google yourself, explore privacy settings; create personal webpage. Step 2) get networking: 70 % of jobs have been found through professional networking; identify goals, skills, experience etc. ** avoid the mistake: don"t think its enough to have a profile** **tend to be more influenced by weak ties. They are not likely to be influenced by your opinion because they know less about how/who you are; drives you more. Research primary contacts and ask them for introduction. Email secondary contact for advice; ask for informational interview . Rules to remember about social media: everything is public, be active not passive, be professional and courteous not formal, make easy to contact you; social media is news, networking is not. **the interview as persuasion: interviewing is formal w/ rules; is often face to face.
