Earlier this week, PJA and Toolbox.com released a survey completed by over 4,000 professionals focusing on social media consumption and its impact on job-seeking and career-building. As social media becomes a more integral tool for individuals and businesses, it is proving itself to be a useful way to build personal and professional brands and stay competitive within a tough job market and even tougher economy. The surprising finding is that survey respondents invest more time–and get more value–from activities that relate to sharing content, building skills, and networking with other professionals–than they do from explicitly promoting their own brands or networking to find a job. Join PJA’s Mike O’Toole and Hugh Kennedy, along with special guest George Krautzel from Toolbox.com, as we share our insights about the results of the survey and how marketers and individuals can utilize social networks to their best advantage.
