Use the Internet to Share Cool and Interesting Stuff from Two Challenges in Building Your Career

 

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:

Now, it is easy for your to share what you do and how well you do it. That can just as easily mean what you’re interested in. What you’re excited about. What you’re angry about. What you’re interested in sharing with other people. I know people male a lot of the whole things — (Dopey voice) “Well who wants to see what I had for lunch today?” You don’t have to- then don’t post that. If that’s not what you want to see on Facebook, don’t post that on Facebook. Post what interests you andy you will find people who will find that interesting because they will have a similar interest to you. Just because people use social media for silly and stupid stuff, doesn’t mean you can’t use it for cool and neat and interesting stuff that builds your career. I really want to reinforce that. Yes, there are jerks everywhere. You walk out of this building and there are jerks. There’s going to be jerks on the Internet. Don’t follow them. Don’t engage with them. Do want you want to do. Do what has the most value for you. You will get value back for it. I guarantee you.
