Career centers don’t understand social media. And social media is the fastest, most effective way for you to build a network. It only serves to limit you in the social media world. The generation that grew up with social media is the most effective at communicating of any generation in history. How does this help you?

Congratulations! Best to stick to the bedroom colors.

Yes, Twitter is a darling of the New York Times and frequents front pages of mainstream media. It’s why so many people use social media – to help others. Social media is about networking, and networking is about helping people. This post is for all the people who think Twitter is stupid but wish they didn’t.

I'm a business student and I lead a business presentation two weeks ago to the US Director of Recruiting for Cummins, a Fortune 500 company, about Gen Y and recruiting them via social media networking.

Not as a BC write up, but as a person reaching out through social media to help, educate, and mentor the up coming generation of work force. But this also allows you to broaden the speakers, invite corporate leaders, successful gen y folks, etc. to speak to BC members in a personal way. You are the evangelist. That is not a bad role.

I can understand the logic behind discussing your asperger's after the recent negative media attention but it is eroding your "brand" as the brazen careerist.

That is actually my goal for June.

It’s interesting because of the media he chose, it’s interesting because of the timing, and it’s interesting because it’s a haiku: Financial crisis/Stalled too many customers/CEO no more The bar is high if you want to be interesting.

A year ago, when I started blogging (thanks, btw) I wanted to set myself apart from fellow graduates as having a POV on social media as it pertains to PR. Find a business analogy that takes the feeling of failure out of it if that's a problem (here's one: a therapist is like a mentor for your marriage).

More about the world of delusion: Time magazine reports that 78% women feel that media does not accurately represent women with kids. It seems like you are falling in line with the media hype on the brain damage issue when there are tremendous upsides to being active in 'dangerous' sports. It’s not fun or glamorous.
