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.
