1) The general theme of the book an insight on how to use social media to promote a business or a product. This reading drove deep into the best ways to use social media to your advantage and gain success in doing so.
2) This reading helped enhanced what I am learning in the class by giving me a better understanding of how driven social capital is in the essence that any successful business needs social impact. This reading also helped me understand how important it is to properly use social media as it can be a determining factor between success and failure.
3) The exercise would involve having individuals looking through their social media and determining if based on the content they have posted up to date, would they hire themselves? If not, why so? and if yes, then what factors determined that?
4) The biggest surprise I got from reading the book was how much of an impact social media has become. Before the reading, I understood that social media was very important in today's society, but I had not come to realize how impact it was to business and hiring recruiters. Today, social media is our brand and the way we use to advertise our brand can impact the rest of our life.
Hey Jhoan,
ReplyDeleteThis book seems very interesting, and I would love to read it. Hopefully in the near future I can learn more about the book and growing social capital even more. I think it is very important to successfully use social media for a business in order to promote the idea to potential customers. In today's world, I find it to be almost a necessity to have a social media in order to stay in contact with people. Additionally, I think the activity you proposed is very interesting and would be great to see how students reflect on their personal social media accounts. Great post!
Hey Jhoan,
ReplyDeleteI liked how for your exercise you wanted everyone to look at their social media as non biased as possible and determine if they would hire themselves based on the content they post. Im sure this would ensure a lot of benefits for each individual. It is extremely important to be weary of the content you post and make sure it represents you in the best way possible!
