Where to Start with Social Media

Back in 2010, I wrote a magazine article that talked about using Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter in people’s personal and professional lives. While the social media tools have expanded enormously, the strategy for incorporating these tools have stayed the same.

1. Establish a plan and outline your goals.  This will be your guide on which sites to use and what you post.

2. Start somewhere.  You do not have to use all the sites.  If you are already using Facebook, see how you can expand your presence.  If you aren’t using anything, set up a professional profile on LinkedIn and connect with colleagues. LinkedIn is still one of professional networking communities.

3. Monitor and manage your internet presence.  You need to be aware of what is online by you and about you.  Google yourself to see what appears.  

4. Revise online profiles to fit your outlined goals and use social networking sites to create positive content.  Twitter is an easy way to share your expertise.  Searches will consider the content you create and who links back to it.

Understanding Motivation for Your Interview

​When interviewing, employers are assessing three things: skills, motivation, and cultural fit.

Motivation comes to the forefront as we experience obstacles in pursuit of our goals. How did you handle the obstacles? What skills did you use to overcome the obstacle? 

If you struggle to answer these questions, spend some time with them. You will need to build your own understanding of when you've felt in flow, before you can describe these situations, behaviors, and factors to others.

Sample Questions About Motivation

Rocking It!
Just keep doing what you are doing.

Maybe set a new stretch goal to see how much more you can do in the next six months.

Some Progress
Congratulations on the progress you've made. 

Which of your goals are most important to you? Which are most relevant to your personal performance plan? Focus on what you need to do each month, each week, to make the additional progress you need.

What Resolutions?
Maybe you were too focused on the work in front of you. 

Pause. Take a few minutes to think about the next steps in your career. What could you do in the next six months in order to move in that direction?

* Build on your leadership strengths
* Network with key individuals
* Education (Conferences or online courses)

​It is never too late to choose your direction and move yourself forward.
