Welcome
to my Social Media Resume.
As you can tell, this is not the traditional format for a resume but in my opinion it’s so much better. By looking through this resume, you can actually get a good feel for not only what I say I have done but for what I can do and who I am. For instance, I put this website together myself and with a few clicks, you can visit my blogs and projects, see my experience and contact me.
Working as a marketing and management consultant over the past 5 years, I have come across many companies and organizations and especially non profits that are running their offices as if they are living in the year 1990. It frustrates me to see how much potential they are giving up on by not adapting to the times and using the gifts that technology brings. What bothers me even more is that they are wasting their breath and dollars in an overcrowded world of organizations shouting out their messages to people that don’t want to be shouted at. That’s where social media comes in.
Being overwhelmed by thousands of messages each day, the younger generation has learned how to tune out noise. They are immune to print ads, they skip commercials and they hate interruptions. Social media changes the way companies and organizations interact with their customers and affiliates. It allows them to open up the conversation and listen to what their customers have to say turning the famous intrusive monologue into an enjoyable conversation.
If you are not interacting with your customers and affiliates, using the tools that they are using, you are missing out, and your message will get lost. To learn more about social media and bringing your organization into the 21st century, read the “About Social Media” and “Catching Up” pages in the sidebar to the right. You can also contact me to set up a consultation on how you can take your organization to the next level.
