I just checked the trends page of job search giant Indeed.com to see what the trend was in seeing the word social media in job postings. It reached an all-time high last year but has since declined a bit. Perhaps its because many of the roles have been filled...? What do you think...chime in with a comment.…

Yes, another year has passed in the quickly evolving world of social network marketing. In 2012 we saw the emergence of Instagram and Pinterest as the next stars in the social media firmament. Both have been wildly successful in the realm of restaurant marketing as well, providing socially engaging photo-sharing platforms for everyone from dedicated food bloggers to casual diners. We’ve also seen Facebook continue to evolve in ways that both amaze and confound, while Twitter has unexpectedly…

During one of my last Media & Popular Culture classes this semester, we watched this TED talk by Nicholas Christakis about the various impacts of social media on our lives.

Since beginning my social media internship, I've learned all about the social resume, and I've read lots of material on how to find a job and network using social media.  The social…

Ten weeks ago was my first day as a Social Media Intern for CareerCloud, and it has been quite a learning experience in more than just one aspect.  I've learned about myself, the industry of jobs/careers, and of course social media as a resource in that field.

One of the objectives of my internship is to maintain the company Twitter account and help to grow its following.  We've gained over 100 followers, and it looks like a slow growth but it has definitely been…

Lately I've been noticing that a lot of my friends and classmates are not on LinkedIn, which is one of the sites that every college student should be a part of.

At first I noticed it when I was having trouble making connections because it seems like the only classmates I found were my friends in the business/communications departments.  None of my friends who study science, education, or arts are on LinkedIn.

Then I noticed it at the end of an information session given…
