It’s a good idea in these uncertain days to have an effective dynamic presence on the web. Head-hunters, recruiters, colleagues, competitors and partners search for your information before they contact you and may find details that you would rather keep to yourself. This session will discuss the importance of creating, managing and maintaining an effective online brand across different social media sites that appeals to your business contacts and potential employers whilst still managing to interact with your friends using social networking tools. The session will cover: using social networking as a business enabler, ensuring the security and privacy of your data, potential issues with using social media and how to avoid any errors that you may inadvertently make which might embarrass you professionally. Learn how social media tools can be effectively used to advertise your presence and build your online brand, and display only the information you choose.
