Purpose of Social Networking

Michael, That is true. My daughter met a lobbyist through my husband. She now has a connection for interaction of people in Washington D.C. This lobbyist also knows the importance of social media. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Christi, I really hadn't thought about businesses meeting you before the f2f interaction. That is a great point. Students can't "unring a bill" when you post something on social meeting. That phone camera can be a students' worst enemy. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Michael, You are right. There are companies now that specialize in the monitoring of social media. Business contract with these businesses to provide them with a report very similar to a credit report regarding their social media activities. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Julie, I agree with you. It is amazing the emails I get from students to me with the language used. I don't that really helps their cause. I have heard over and over "I have the right to say what I want", and I say, " I have the right not to hire you". Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Melinda , I agree with you. Employers are looking at social media to determine communication ability of students. Students need to know that people are watching them in this venue. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
