YouTube & Audio Podcasting: The Basics

Creating a “podcast”—a downloadable audio file—is another great way to get your messages to your target audience so that they can take it with them using their iPod , iPhone or smart phone.

WORKSHOP FOR COLLEGE SENIORS, CAREER COUNSELORS, JOB SEEKERS
Use LinkedIn for Your Job Search& Beyond
LinkedIn has been called “ Facebook for Grown-ups” and with good reason. It can connect you to professional contacts and jobs in the same way that you have become connected to hundreds of friends during your time on campus. Instead of “friending” someone, on LinkedIn you ask them to become your “contact”—and in this still shaky economy where jobs are not guaranteed, the more insider contacts you have the better. LinkedIn is your resume on steroids. It’s a way to find that friend-of-a-friend-of-a-cousin in California who just happens to know about THE perfect job opening for you. Learn to build an effective LinkedIn profile, how to reach out to potential contacts appropriately, how to research the big companies and their job openings, and how to find the right people to help you make the right connections.
* Workshop can be customized for any group that wants to know how to use LinkedIn for job search & networking.
