Monday July 1, I gave an hour plus talk about how I use Google Plus to 40PlusDC.
Best thing I learned at the meeting was about the baggage we make up about being unemployed. If you’re not interesting a potential partner, lack of employment is an easy a way out of a boring meeting. If you’ve created an interest, being immediately available is an asset.
This is the first time I’ve been live tweeted. I reversed the order from the 40 Plus twitter page so the tweets are in chronological order. I like it!
We plan to livetweet today’s event, Google+ for Job Seekers, with @DickDavies starting @10am http://40plusdc.wordpress.com/2013/06/26/40plus-presents-google-for-job-seekers-71/ …
.@DickDavies: Writing your own resume can take 6 wks since we’re coming to grips w/ who we are. Same for creating your 1st Google+ page.
.@DickDavies: Use a URL shortener for your Google+ page. Gplus.to/dickdavies, or bit.ly/DicksProfile
.@DickDavies: Creating Google+ will take you 6 weeks while you come up w/ the language @ who you are.
.@DickDavies: You can take parts of your Google+ page and paste them onto your LinkedIn (and other) profiles.
.@DickDavies: My blogs are syndicated on my Google+ page. Artwork from my blog shows up on my Google+ page.
.@DickDavies: I learn a lot of useful Google+ tricks from presenters at the Google Technical User Group.
.@DickDavies: Unlike Facebook and LinkedIn, anyone can follow you on Google+. You can block them if you want.
.@DickDavies: Have something interesting to talk about at your meetings, could be something you read on Google+.
.@DickDavies: I like XKCD blog, which is cartoons @ tech, science. I send things from it to my buds.
.@DickDavies: You can post stuff on Google+. & in the About section, you can put links to your blog, videos, recommendations, etc.
.@DickDavies: Read other people’s Google+ pages to learn how to create yours. R&D is Research and Duplicate.
.@DickDavies: Metrics – I aim for 20 face-to-face meetings a month, run an ongoing public program, and post 2 blog posts a week. That’s a good activity metric for the new economy.
.@DickDavies: Biggest advantage of Google+ over Facebook & LinkedIn is that you can choose who sees each of your posts.
