What is Social Media?
Social media is the use of web-based and mobile
technologies to turn communication into interactive
dialogue – Wikipedia
It’s not just about Facebook. It’s about engaging in conversation with
people who share common interest.

6 Degree Separation
Six degrees of separation (called the "Human Web") refers to the idea that
everyone is on average approximately six steps away from any other person on
Earth. This can help you connect with the right minded people.

Online is New
It’s a new world: email started in 1965, WiFi in 1999 and Facebook in 2004.
It creates many opportunities but we often don’t know how to use wisely.
We need to ask our self: what’s the purpose? What will I achieve in the next
hour while been online? Never loose track of why we are on the internet.

Use Social Media to get your first job

Getting your first job in 4 steps
Understand what the recruiter wants

Customize your Facebook profile
Our Facebook profile is who you are. Any picture, text, games, comments
define you and create our online personality. The question is : are you really
who you are claiming to be? You could ask why does it matter. Online IS the
offline world. At some point, others will connect the dots and will not trust
you if your online doesn’t fit with who you really are .

Connect with the right people
Use the 6 degree separation theory to connect with people who share
common interest.

Use Social Media to learn and acquire knowledge

Research

• Remember Copyright
• Online research is now a way of life: Using
mobile devices to compare products on the spot and
make the right decision.

• Source is key to make sense of what’s true or what’s
not true. Your job is to look at all the information, connect
the dots, evaluate their truthiness and make your own
judgment. Today, your first job is to acquire the ability to
make sense of what is.

Author Guidelines
and Best Practices
• Trust: You are what you write.
• Transparency: Online is public. Keep secrets at home.
• Write what you know: Research if you need to, but make sure you
know what you are writing about.
• Are you adding value? The best way to get yours read is to write
things that people will value. Is it positive or negative? It’s your
decision.
• Your responsibility: What you write is ultimately your responsibility.
Saying: “I was tired”, “It was late”….too late. It’s posted.
• Be a Leader: There can be a fine line between healthy debate and
incendiary reaction. Some topics—like politics, religion, or even
music—are sensitive territory.
• Writing is exposing yourself to other’s point of view: never assume
that everyone agree with you.
• Don't take anything personally. Everyone is more focus on
themselves anyway, so why worry.
• Be open minded: The world is a wide open space with different
points of view.

Take away
• Source and references are keys to evaluate content
worthiness.
• Social media is new: it can be a waste of time, if you lose
track of what you want to accomplish.
• You are what you write. Before writing anything, ask
yourself: does this portray be well or not?
• Before applying to a job, customize your profile and make
your story fit with who you are.
• Did you screw up? Take the blame if there is blame to take,
learn and move on.
• If it gives you pause, pause.
• Social media creates a better world because we all share
knowledge, and knowledge is power.
• Have fun and make the world a better place to live in.
