The social media strategies we implement for businesses are largely usable by individuals seeking to improve their career. Unless you’re planning your retirement party, you are a career seeker and the strategies in this deck can be used by you.

1. Turbo Charge Your Career Through Social Media

2. Turbo Charge Your Career Through Social Media
I’m a digital marketer, not a career coach. About three years ago I
had a life changing experience. Due to the fact I am the owner of a
digital marketing agency, and a frequent speaker on social media
marketing, I was asked to speak to a large group of unemployed
professionals. The premise was that the principles of social media
marketing for a business are applicable to people looking for a job.
The experience was eye opening! I learned that many people do not
know how to harness the power of social media in their career. And,
I learned that the strategies we implement for businesses are largely
usable by individuals seeking to improve their career.
Unless you’re planning your retirement party, you are a career
seeker and the strategies in this deck can be used by you.
To your success,
Bernie Borges
