Social Media

So this was a VERY easy step to pass, I have had a facebook since about 2006 back when you had to be invited! I also weirdly enough have a Myspace, but I never use that. I find these as nice tools to stay connected with people at home.

1. Now that you have a profile on Facebook or MySpace, how will you share information about yourself to meet other students at Ai and start to build your network?

2. Keeping in mind that employers use social networks as a recruiting tool, how will you use Facebook or MySpace to promote yourself to potential employers? I will only put up items and things that would not be a nail in the coffin to my career. I have already started to fix and change my profile and even change my security so that my profile is less available.

3. How will you use Facebook or MySpace to build your professional network? I will put up examples of my work to perhaps gain followers and fans to help spread word of mouth about me.

4. What interests and personal details will you share with your circle? All of what I believe is common knowledge and nothing more than what I would share in a normal setting.

5. How is professional networking different from social networking? professional networking helps further along a career and help make contacts to gain clients and such, social networking is kind of the same thing except it is also used for personal use and not just professional, it can help you stay connected with people you might have lost contact with.
