Call for Action for 2012
Dear Readers,
I’m very excited about 2012 because I’ll be going back to school for my doctorate in Education. This has been a dream of mine for many years. I’ll continue to work full-time while I’m attending school. Subsequently, our organization is looking for volunteer or interns. If you’re interested in blogging for us about the job hunt, please send me an email. Additionally, we have several social media platforms that will need tending, such as our twitter account, YouTube channel, and weekly e-newspaper. While these don’t take up much time, they need to be consistently updated with fresh and reliable content.
We had an intern this past year from The University of Alabama, and she was very helpful. It also made me think the intern tasks through, so if you volunteer, I have explicit instructions and tutorials ready for you. Social media evangelism is the current job title for the work that you do to promote something you really believe in online. The job perk is that you can telecommute—that is you can complete the work online from your home or coffee shop. We can arrange virtual meetings via Skype to plan. Basically, the rest of the volunteer work would include reading emailed directions and logging into our social media platforms to tweet or blog about job opportunities and advice.
As you may have read from my past blogs, we focus on the use of social media as a career tool. We’d love to hear your stories about the use of these tools for landing an interview or job. Any takers? I surely hope so. Also, don’t forget about all the resources we have shared on our 20-page website: http://brokebutnotforlong.org/1.html. One of our ideas for an outreach project is to host Job Clubs and invite speakers or demonstrate how to use social media for the job hunt. Would you like to host a Job Club in your area? You are welcome to use our website’s resources and informational blog to share with job seekers. Just let us know.
Thanks in advance for your consideration!
Sandra Rogers,
Founder
