How to make your online personal brand work for you (Not against you)
Featuring, Tiffany Monhollon, Senior Content Marketing Manager, Social Media & Community Strategist, and Writer

About the Program

Not long ago, no one could have forecasted the critical importance of social media in our society today. But today, it's a part of everyday life for businesses and individuals across the globe. What does your personal online activity say about you -- and to whom? Today, your employer or a hiring manager can learn a lot about you simply by typing your name in a search engine. From personal social networking sites like Facebook to professional platforms like LikedIn to the blurry line of personal/professional on sites like Twitter, Google+, and more, everyone must make choices about what they are going to say about themselves online and where they will share it.

Join us to learn how to navigate the personal/professional line in social media from a business perspective and how to make the most of your personal brand online.
