If you want to build your personal brand, establish an online presence, and be in the right place at the right time for your job search, then you have to utilize social media. The big 3 social media sites are LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook. While LinkedIn is focused more fully on business, and Facebook leans toward the social, Twitter lands somewhere in the middle. Nearly 75 million people visited Twitter in January 2010. Twitter relies on “tweets,” which are posts of 140 characters or less. They’re short, but frequent. Life moves fast on Twitter. But then, the world moves fast […]

The New Power Suit for Summer By CHRISTINA BINKLEY for the Wall Street Journal As Temperatures Heat Up, Conveying Power and Authority at Work Without Breaking a Sweat It’s summer, and the fever is spreading: T-shirts, Capri pants, sundresses and shorts are appearing in offices all over the country. Dress codes tend to relax in the summer months. It’s difficult to endure business-formal when it’s 85 degrees. But it’s equally difficult to maintain an aura of authority when you’re wearing a hot-pink golf shirt. When executives drop blazers, ties, and dress shoes, they are eliminating important clues to rank and […]

How do you use social networking in your job search? A recent NACE survey of 2010 graduates indicated that while over 90 percent of respondents have profiles on social networking sites, a much smaller percentage actually use those sites in their job search. Less than 30 percent feel that employers should view their profiles, which is understandable — most people use sites like Facebook for social reasons, and aren’t interested in blurring together their personal and professional lives. However, one piece of the survey was surprising, and I found it particularly alarming: Students using social networking as a job-search resource […]

Based on a NACE (National Association of Colleges and Employers) 2010 Student Survey, there is a strong link between the use of career services and a student’s ability to get a job offer. Here is what the results revealed: The more frequently a senior used career services, the more likely he/she would receive a job offer. The likelihood of getting a job offer increased with the frequency of use (those who used the career center four or more times a semester were more likely to have job offers than those who used it once a semester). Among those who had […]
