Imagine if we all had our own personal Social Media policy that we could share with current and future employers? This deck gives an overview of some tips of what it might contain. Read the blog post at www.paulbromford.wordpress.com

1. YOUR
OWN
PERSONAL
SOCIAL
MEDIA
POLICY
Tips on developing digital identity
from @paulbromford

2. 70% of recruiters have changed
their minds about an applicant
based on social media profile
Protect your Social CV

3. Company
social media
policy
can encourage
uniformity
This is about
YOUR brand
YOUR story

4. What’s
your
personal
social media
strategy?
What do YOU
want to be known
for?
Do you want to be
a thought leader?

5. Or do you want to be a Social
CEO?

6. Or do want to be known for posting funny cat pictures?
Be clear in your profile what followers or fans can expect

7. As a general rule
Don’t say anything on
social media you
wouldn’t say to your
boss’s face

8. But don’t be afraid to
divide opinion…
If you’re not provocative in
some way, how can you
possibly stand out to inspire
someone else?
– Brian Solis

9. Don’t constantly talk about yourself. It’s 8 part
others , 2 parts you. Otherwise you just bore
people

10. Never
engage trolls or
argue with
others
No-one wins

11. Almost 40 per cent of UK employees criticise their workplace online
Don’t be one of them

12. What’s your follow back policy?
Follow everyone and risk appearing desperate
for approval
Follow a small percentage of your followers and
risk appearing aloof and elitist

13. It’s fine to automate
some of your posts
Just be around to join in the
conversation
Don’t be a robot

14. Always share
great content
and credit
sources
Everybody
loves a
sharer…
It’s also
the quickest
way to
build a following
(via Shirley Ayres)

15. Be clear how
much you mix personal and
private or whether you
separate them to different
networks
But being serious all the time
can be awfully dull

16. A four word
social media
policy
we can all follow
(via Charlie Brooker)

17. (via Aatif Bokhari)

18. YOUR
OWN
PERSONAL
SOCIAL
MEDIA
POLICY
