When it rains, it pours. I’ve been so busy speaking a training that I’m scrambling to keep up with the new business that those appearances are creating for my "day job". I suppose there are worse problems to have.
I had such a great day doing Social Media training this week with the JC Penney recruiting team. Among other things, we established a new hashtag for following jobs and info about Careers with JC Penney on Twitter, #JCPJobs. They have a very talented group of recruiters there and are excited about adding some cool social media strategies to their recruiting tool belts.
It’s been a busy month. Two weeks ago I was honored to lead a session with Brianna Foulds on Social Recruiting at the People Report Workforce Symposium 2010. This conference set new standards for creativity and fun. And I got to meet some of the top people in the restaurant industry. I’m so impressed with Joni Doolan and her planning team and am excited to do it again in November.
Next I’ll be at Get Social OKC on June 24th to lead a session on Social Media secrets. This "unconference" will be more geared to marketing and business development, which is obviously a big passion of mine.
Join me for Get Social Conference at the Renissance Hotel in downtown Oklahoma City on this Thursday, June 24th.
