Social Media in your Life and Career
Social Media in your Life and Career
Social networks have always existed, but they have recently been transformed by the new so-called social media. It has changed the quality and quantity of our interactions.
Swissnex Boston, in collaboration with FACC- Young Professional Initiative, hosted an event to talk about these issues on May 5th, 2011. Dr. Marie-José Montpetit and Ms. Nancy Richmond from MIT were the guest speakers presenting their research and advice on social media. Ms. Montpetit is a research scientist for the Networking Coding and Reliable Communications Group. Ms. Richmond is a member of Career Counseling and Exploration for Global Education and Career Development. They talked about how business models have been redefined by social media and discussed how they can be used to gain exposure.
The audience received a compelling overview about innovations in social media, guideline principles as well as the do’s and the don’ts for LinkedIn. Both speakers agreed that there is a lot more to come in terms of connecting with each other and that every connection is important. So let’s connect!
