Social Media Week

I learned that engaging in social media can be a very important move in your career depending on how you decided to use it. You could decide to use social media in a unintelligent way that involves friends and trying to seem "cool" or you could use it in a manner that is more appropriate, such as showing potential employers that you would provide an asset to their company or business. What really surprised me was that social media networks and blogs account for more than one out of every five minutes spent online. The top three areas where Americans spend their time online are social media and blogs with 22.5 percent, online games with 9.8 percent, and email with 7.6 percent. I know that online media may well dominate the social category as far as usage, but i believe that personnel encounters are far more important than any online social media.

MTBI

According to the MTBI personality test, I make decisions based on feeling compared to thinking. Those who prefer thinking tend to decide things from a more detached standpoint, measuring the decision by what seems reasonable, logical, causal, consistent and matching a given set of rules. Those who prefer feeling tend to come to decisions by associating or empathizing with the situation, looking at it 'from the inside' and weighing the situation to achieve, on balance, the greatest harmony, consensus and fit, considering the needs of the people involved. It surprised me that I make decisions based on feeling. If I was in a leadership position, say a dictator, I think I would make decisions that would be for the greater good of the group which may involve making decisions that are harmful to some people.
