Social Media Laziness and Other Ills - CareerEnlightenment.com
LinkedIn: The most professional outlet you have. ALL of your updates need to be professional and somewhat formal. Generally, there needs to be a professional reason for you to connect with anyone here.Facebook: More casual is okay. You can keep things personal. Just remember that a potential employer might get a glimpse if you arent paying attention to your settings. The rule of thumb is that Facebook friends should be friends, or have a good reason to connect.Anyone can connect with anyone. There doesnt need to be a reason or an introduction. A good rule of thumb is to tweet about personal (not too personal!) things about 80 to 90 percent of the time. The remaining 10 to 20 percent of your tweet material can be about what type of job youre looking for or trying to reach out to certain companies.If you did a blanket post on all of these, it would come across weird you need to frame your content according to the style or format of the different media.I have found a tool that doesnt require blanket posting, but still allows you to aggregate your profiles. Its called DandyID. Im just getting started with it, and I love the analytics. I can see who is looking at which social media profile. This helps me focus my communication message on a specific platform.Play around with it, or stick around and check for updates, because Ill be reporting back to you on how I use it and whether it is worth signing up.Let me know what you think of this post or what you think of DandyID if you check it out! Your comments are always welcome, and useful for others.
