A number of my HR friends and colleagues have made connecting via social media/Web 2.0 one of their top goals for 2009. I count myself among them; although I jumped on the blogging wagon in 2006 and have been working on my Twitter commitment through 2008, I still have lots of work to do myself (on LinkedIn, for starters...).
The good news? Help has come our way! Jennifer McClure, one of the contributors at Fistful of Talent, has given us a great primer with her post 5 Must-Use Social media Tools for HR & Recruiting Pros in 2009.
If getting up to speed on what social media can do for you and your HR career is one of your '09 resolutions (and it should be), click on over and let Jennifer get you going.
Do it!
Hallo and Happy New Year, Ann!
Great post, and I checked out your link. Note to self: if job recruiters are getting on this bandwagon, so should those wishing to BE recruited! Time to brush off my own stale LinkedIn account...
