Professionalism and Social Media

by Eric Stoller

Social media has influenced how we define professionalism in both positive and negative ways. Jeff Lail came on the show to discuss what it means to be professional while using social media tools. We discuss the potential for social media to aid someone in their job search. However, the idea of being “judged” for your social presence came up as a concern. Overall, it was a great show as we had a multitude of tweets at the #SAlive hashtag.
