Social Media – my view
• I realize the power of it.• Different companies and markets use in
different ways.• Crucial to be engaged, if you want to be
engaged.• Great opportunity to find employees or job
seekers to find jobs.• Great opportunity to connect with people.

Social Media – The Downside
• Errors can be really magnified.• People can forget about their personal
exposure.• Can spread false or incorrect info – FAST• Can lead to stress and offline relationship
problems. • Can lead to job insecurity or difficulty finding a
job.

Stopping or Controlling Personal Social Media Use
• Never• Really think you can stop it?• Why would you?• Why we don’t.I think it is a terrible idea.
![Page 8: Defining Social Media Success](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062513/554c6395b4c905f76f8b46e4/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Being Friends on Facebook
• Absolutely• I don’t judge anything.• Makes the organization tighter, closer as a
group.• Many people know what is going on with each
other.

Social Media Do’s
• Don’t treat it as a Broadcast Medium. It’s about the conversation.
• Engage in all aspects of the chosen medium, if you are “in” you should be “In”.
• If someone engages with you, be engaged back.• Know your data. What is working and what isn’t?• Use your components to support each other.
