What happens when a group of social media addicts and whizzes from the field of employment (or who have gone through the fires of unemployment) gather with savvy television producers and filmmakers?

Magic, in the form of a new and timely television show on the art and science of job search and career management.

This past Wednesday, September 23rd, the terrific staff of RCTV15 set the stage for a new 8-part series, Employment INsights, by miking up:

  • Host Hannah Morgan – Career Sherpa and Program Coordinator/Workshop Specialist at RochesterWorks
  • Dr. Neil Hair – Assistant Professor of Marketing, E. Philip Saunders College of Business, Rochester Institute of Technology and Social Media Guru
  • Deborah Mourey- Social Media Sherpa, Marketing Strategy Consulting
  • Steven Tylock - Author of The LinkedIn Trainer
  • David Pope – President, The PDA School and Tech Tip Guru

This, the pilot show, focused on Networking and Social Media for Employment.

The show gets off to a meaty when the experts are asked for their definition of Social Media and how LinkedIn differs from Facebook and Twitter.  Guess which is compared to a Cocktail Party!

The panelists  discuss myths, realities and real world misuses of social media and how it can compliment in-person networking.  Don’t be concerned if you’re a novice!  You’ll get ideas on how to dip your toe in the pool of social media so you don’t feel as if you’re drowning.

Motivational Speaker and PDA Teacher David Pope offers his 2 minute Tech Tip, sharing how to use technology to work the room at a career fair.

So, if you expect to be in the workforce for the next five to ten years or longer, this is a show you must see!
