Douglas E. Welch (http://douglasewelch.com) presents to the class Career Development – Theories and Techniques at Pepperdine Graduate School of Education & Psychology taught by fellow CareerCamp Co-Chair, Danielle Gruen
The two biggest challenges are deciding what you want to do as a career and then building the career you deserve once you decide.
I discuss the Career Compass method of discovering your career wants, needs and desires and then using various social media tools to show people “What you do and how well you do it”
Transcript:
One of the things I learned when I started podcasting was — I figured when I started podcasting — I did an audio podcast of my weekly career column that I had been writing for several years — and I figured, “Oh this is just another way for those readers to consume the column, right?” No. This audience let’s say was probably — I’m going to say — a fourth crossed over with that audience and I would say that is a good number for all these. Yes, there’ll be people who follow you in both places, but the majority of the people who follow you on Twitter will not be the people who follow you on Facebook and they won’t be the people following you on LinkedIn and they won’t be the people who follow you on Tumblr. It’s a separate audience, So each one of these that you use to expose your work and “What you do and how well you do it” actually gets you another audience.
