An overview to social networking sites & their usage for job search. The target audience for this presentation are individuals in career transition or newcomers to Canada - most without profiles on social networking sites. Although this has been delivered as a workshop - it is best delivered as a series with both classroom and computer instruction time. Please contact me at socialwisdom.ca for more information.

Notes de l'éditeur
- Its not what you know, its who you know
- This survey is of 438 hiring managers – enough to be statistically relevant – however, survey invitations were done off a web 2.0 job recruiting software website. And so the responses are likely skewed towards social networking. Still – there is a message for job searchers.
- I’ve done a lot of branding work – corporate and product branding. So let’s visit some of the fundamental principles of branding. What is it? Who you are – sum of all interactions and experiences as PERCEIVED by others. Give future shop experience. Executive thought FS brand was about good deals on electronics. But that is not what public told us. They told us about bad customer service, high pressure sales tactics and loud messaging. The brand was what the customers perceived. This is important because when we talk about personal branding – you are leaving public record about yourself. If you say you are a team player and you rant on facebook fan pages – then you are presenting a different message. This is what we need to think about in personal branding.
- Start with rolodex. Pull out business card. I used to work here – then I went on maternity leave and was terminated while on leave. (amicably – it was the housing business). All my physical files are still at the company. I can’t take that with me. But my network is my own. And I maintain it on the web where I can access it from anywhere at anytime. Anybody that has a business card of mine is SOL. (out of luck) but if we are connected thru linkedin – then I update my records. Now take it a step further. I can exchange ideas, communicate, understand what is happening and ask questions. People can look at my profile.
