Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Social Media is a form of electronic communication that allows users to create online communities to share information, ideas, personal messages and other content (Merrian Webster)
  2. Calgary’s mayor placed an emphasis on using social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter to promote his platform and engage voters Ubiquitos= Being or seeming to be everywhere at the same time Pervasive=spread throughout
  3. Create a social media plan – think about what you are using it for, what image you want to present Social media is about being friendly and social, but you are also creating an online presence. You want people to know you’re friendly, but also professional, and knowledgeable about your industry Be careful what you post and embed a professional looking picture.
  4. "If you think your mom would be embarrassed by something you post, then think twice about posting it,
  5. What is the average age? 43
  6. What is the average age? 43 From Nexen’s HR Department: LinkedIn is one the key pieces of our overall recruitment strategy. It’s a very effective tool for attracting top talent to Nexen, enhancing our brand and educating potential candidates about our company. Since implementing LinkedIn, we have more than 2,100 current employees registered and more than 6,000 followers. We use it to advertise our job postings and communicate in real-time with potential candidates, source potential candidates and develop networks with people in fields relevant to our industry and hiring needs. All Nexen’s recruiters also post their own profiles on LinkedIn and as a result are contacted constantly by job seekers. LinkedIn isn’t the only social media resource we’re currently using. Our YouTube account hosts between eight and 10 videos at any time including videos featuring our oil sands upgrading process at Long Lake, a day in the life of an offshore platform in the North Sea and employee testimonials. Video is one of the best ways we can show people about the interesting work we do, and the opportunities we have for advancement. It enables us to explain what it’s like to work at Nexen better than any other medium.
  7. Finding a job through Facebook isn’t about pestering your friends and junking up their news feeds with status updates like “Unemployed and Looking For Work — Help A Dude Out.” It’s about making the most of your network in a positive way, not by being a nuisance. (mashable)
  8. Consider everything you post on Facebook to be public information for everyone to see, read and share
  9. Job sites are broadcasting on Twitter, and it's increasingly used as a way of connecting directly with key contacts, including organizations you might want to work for. TwitterJobSearch.com: job search engine that searches Twitter for jobs by keyword
  10. Unfiltered opportunity to connect Don’t need an introduction to contact another twitter user, don’t need to be approved It is acceptable to follow and connect with people on Twitter because your friends do
