At my first PBN networking event (mentioned in my Networking blog), I briefly spoke to Kristen Kane, from Kane Partners, about an event she was holding at NBC10 studios about using social media to find jobs. She told me where to sign-up online and it was free!
Last night, I drove to the studios of The 10 Show in Bala Cynwyd for Kristen’s presentation called, “Jobs on Social Media.” Anchor and consumer reporter Tracy Davidson was there to greet the guests as they arrived for the event. She encouraged each of us to send her an email when we get a job (not if- when!). We sat in the studio while Kristen explained the 
benefits of LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook–if you use them correctly. I have an account on all three of these sites, but until now I did not know how to use them for my job search.
Which social media site is the most helpful for job searching?
LinkedIn and Twitter seem like the most promising social media sites if you’re looking for inside information about job openings. I wrote down everything that caught my attention during Kristen’s presentation, and you can read about it in my blog post titled, ”Using Social Media to Find a Job.”
The importance of having a clear and effective resume:
At the conclusion of the evening, I had the chance to meet with a consultant from Kane Partners named Jessica and she reviewed my resume. Jessica gave me some helpful tips about formatting and she encouraged me to be as descriptive as possible in the bullet points under each job or internship–if anything is too general, it could be misunderstood by an HR representative or anyone else glancing over the resume. Kane Partners offers resume reviews or redos if you make an appointment.
Have you made any meaningful connections on LinkedIn, Twitter or Facebook?

What are Twitter Lists?
If you have not been on your Twitter account lately, you should be aware of Twitter Lists, which is the new feature that Twitter just released last week. This is the feature that allows the Twitter user to create groups.
Lists enable the user to group users according to any variable that they choose. Some Examples:
- Geographic locations(Philly Bloggers)
- Occupations (Web Developers)
- Family(My family and friends Twitter accounts)
- Work(business contacts)
- Hobbies(mountain biking)
The uses are limitless.
Lists can be both public and private. You don’t need to follow someone to add them to a list. Adding profiles to a private list does not let them know that they are on the list, but adding a profile to a public allows the profile to see that they are included on a list. Twitter takes the word privacy serious.
When would I want to use a private list?
- keep track of my competition.
- Using Twitter for research that you may want to keep private.
- Keep all your amorous profiles secret.
- Keep your family profiles secret.
- If you are ghost Tweeting, you can create a list of the profiles that you tweet on to have easy access to the stats.
In short, Twitter Lists are here, stop in and check them out.
Some Other Twitter List Tips:
- Got an idea for a list, then create your list and then add profiles.
- Check Out the Twitter Blog post announcing the Twitter List Feature.
- Check out my first blog post on Twitter Lists on Socialtivity.net.
- If you get added to a list, follow the list.
- When you are added to a list, your Tweets will show up on the Twitter list stream.
- If someone adds you to a cool list, not a list of “jerks”, then you might want to consider not only following the list, but also consider following the person.
- If you go to http://twitter.com/goodies/widgets you can get widgets that allow you to show lists as well as the standard Twitter stuff.

Automatic Twitter updating whether it is adding followers automatically, adding tweets automatically, or getting followers automatically is a a growing industry. It also may very well be the downfall of Twitter if the Twitter team does not establish some sort of control over the automation of Twitter. Much like FFA(Free For All) pages of years ago,Twitter is at risk of becoming a spammers playground.
I too am guilty of using automated programs on Twitter. Recently I began experimenting with some services that enable the automation of your Twitter account. Be warned again. Be sure to give your followers some good tweets, not just automated tweets from feeds.

What is TPO?
TPO or Twitter Profile Optimization, is a term I coined this morning at 3am. I see in the SERP’s(Search Engine Results Pages) there are sites that appear for the phrase, but I will take credit for the TPO and actually defining it.
TPO Could actually be a career much like SMO(Social Media Optimization), which it could be niche career of as well. 
TPO Duties
- Set up Twitter profiles for companies and individuals to include registering and tweaking the profile page.
- Put Twitter widgets on website’s/blogs. (more…)
