How social media can change your life

My latest on Talent Culture

I am currently in the midst of a significant career shift.   Even though I report to an SVP of HR, I am now assigned as the social media community manager for the Fortune 100 company where I work.  My primary responsibility involves using social media tools and platforms to create a community with our customers.  As you might imagine, this is taking me in a number of new directions career wise.

It also makes me reflect more on how I am going to stay up to date with the rapidly changing human resources field while simultaneously acquiring new knowledge related to social media.   In an interesting twist, one of the first places I have turned to is the various social media based communities that I have been a part of inside the HR community and different social media communities, such as TalentCulture.

These communities have tremendous value, not only for networking and exposure, but as a social learning resource network.   I have been spending an increasing amount of time in these communities in the last couple of weeks and I don’t see this changing in the near future.  These communities offer incredibly rich and valuable resources.  You will be a more cultured professional in regards to social media for participating in as many of these opportunities as possible. I have created a list of resources below where you can get started. Happy exploring!

Communities that keep me connected:

1. TChat – The intersection of Talent + Workplace Culture – Leadership, Recruiting, HR, Social Media, Innovation.

2. RadChat – recruiting, sourcing and social media all blend here

3. Talent Net Live –  Live Social Recruiting Chat

4. Hire Friday Chat – where jobseekers convene

5. HR Happy Hour – this weekly show focuses on HR, management, leadership, and workforce technology

6. Drive Thru HR – this daily show gives a colorful look at what keeps HR warriors up at night

7. BlogChat – is exactly what it sounds like, a weekly twitter chat about blogging

8. Speakchat -connect speakers, event planners, speaker bureaus, publicists, and clients

Here are a couple of communities I left off the Talent Culture post:   Women of HR, HREvolution
