Social Networking Strategies for Job Seekers
By Suzi Craig, Director of Marketing & Engagement, Fathom
Monday, September 21st
6:15 & 8:15 p.m., Hubbard Room

As social networking tools like LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook mature and begin to flood the mainstream, many job seekers are wisely utilizing these tools to build connections and seek out career possibilities. Social networking is changing how we interact and conduct business. The knowledge share that is happening at the speed of a status update is transforming us into a culture where conversation rules and connections are built the old fashioned way ? by getting to know each other.

From our discussion, attendees will walk away with:
A clear understanding of what you can do on LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter, and stories of applicable uses of ?the big 3.?
Ways to manage social networking during the day so it enhances your job search, not hinders it.
An understanding of these social networking environments, etiquette and how they are maturing.
