Read This PostKeep Columbus Metropolitan Libraries Strong – Vote YES on Issue 4
At the Central Ohio PRSA panel last week, my friend and coach M.J. Clark introduced me to Julie Theado. Julie volunteers her time to the Columbus Metropolitan Libraries, coordinating much of their efforts in using social media tools to reach the local community for the upcoming operating levy that will expire this year. It’s mission-critical timing and Julie is doing important work for Columbus. Libraries are pretty important to have around, don’t you think? Will YOU Stand With Me? Here are three of my personal reasons why I will vote YES on Issue 4 (to renew CML’s operating levy), and why I’m writing this to encourage you to stand with me and do the same: The benefits of supporting an organization that provides access to learning and technology, promotes reading and education, and curates all types of information, far outweigh the monthly costs. We all need to do our part. No question. Libraries are about MUCH more than books. They provide programs that help community members, professionals, students and the elderly. If the library levy fails, what type of message will that send to the folks who might be looking to relocate their families to Columbus? How will that message effect the decision of business owners who might be considering setting up shop Columbus? Is a failed operating levy a message we really want to attach to the Columbus brand? Kids When I was a kid, I spent countless summers with other kids my age in the programs at our local library in Massillion. Even into adulthood, those memories have always stuck with me, and I believe that it’s a big part of what helped ignite my curiosity for learning. Sarah, myself and our kids use libraries a few times each month. Both Kaden and Jacob enjoy spending time in the computer lab and browsing [...]
Read This PostHOW TO: Find a Job Using Twitter – by Hannah DeMilta
I’m so pleased to give the floor to my friend, Hannah DeMilta, today. Hannah is a shining example of the other side of Generation Y. She’s sharp, passionate, focused on having experiences and building networks, and a Jedi Master in the art of wielding social media tools to drive her professional career. Shortly after graduating from Otterbein College, Hannah put all of those skills and traits to work in making her dream of living and working abroad in the social media industry a reality. Here’s Hannah with how she did it… I found my current job on Twitter. I think while it’s becoming more common for people to say that, it still surprises most. It surprises people even more when I tell them I found my job on Twitter, and it moved me all the way from my hometown of Cleveland to Australia. I recently started a new role as a Social Media Specialist at Switched On Media, a digital agency in Sydney. It was my dream to move here ever since spending a semester abroad in Australia. I wanted to share some advice and tips on how I used Twitter as one of the tools in my job hunt. Although I used this for my job search abroad, the same tips apply for someone looking to move domestically or wanting to find a position in their home city. Run searches (location based) for job opening keywords people would be tweeting about. Look for words like “hiring” or “entry–level.” If it’s a large region or city, add in terms specific to the role you want such as “hiring” AND “marketing.” Also, look for Twitter accounts that share automated RSS feeds of job openings, but remember it’s always better to look for actual people tweeting. It’s going to be a person that hires [...]
