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:
Another really big one right now — I won’t say it’s very good for income anymore, but as ways of telling people what you do and how well you do it — YouTube. When I talk about new media I talk about the levels of intimacy of various media. A written book can be very intimate. We can cry at the end of Harry Potter ok, and it can really hit us with the feelings, but audio is another level of intimacy. I often describe it as an audio podcast is literally whispering in the people’s ears. If you think about how the people walk around their ear buds in you’re, literally whispering in people’s ears. A much higher level of intimacy and of course, when you get to video, you’re now at the level of intimacy falling just short of being there in person. Because they get much more physical cues from you in a video. They see your face. They see your gestures. It is the reason that you see I set up my camera and my mic tonight. I record everything I do because it all goes on YouTube. That’s where I can send people to.
