Comment on The first three rules of crisis management. by Shelley

Karen, These are three great rules that can apply to a number of situations. In fact, there was an incident in NHL social media circles just yesterday (Nov 26) where they could have helped.

A mediator that had been hired to assist negotiations between the NHL and NHLPA was found to have some insensitive and divisive comments in his Twitter feed that were posted in the past few weeks. His response to the criticism was that his Twitter account had been hacked – that it wasn’t his fault.

This alleged hacking has been widely questioned and discredited. As a result, he was removed from the NHL/NHLPA case.

Unfortunately, the moderator went from someone who had questionable taste to a liar with questionable taste. So I would suggest that these rules, especially rule #3, apply even when there isn’t a camera in your face.

Go Canes! (someday)

Here’s an article in the June 28 New York Times that illustrates perfectly the importance of transparency when marketing products or services through social media networks.

Comment on Send me your resume… by Karen Stinneford

Emily, your sage insight about resumes was echoed in a piece on National Public Radio last night. HR experts offered these additional tidbits of advice:

* Ensure a professional-looking online presence by establishing a LinkedIn account (with recommendations) and an appropriate email address. Resumes that originate from Imonehotchick@aol.com or Bob+Mary+5wildkids@mindspring.com might not be taken seriously.

* Seed your resume with action verbs: Manage, supervise, faciliate and the like. Large companies, especially, rely upon electronic resume readers that mine submissions for action-oriented verbs.

* Leverage your relationships! While Monster and other career sites have made job seeking somewhat more anonymous, many people still find their next jobs because of who they know. Don’t be afraid to ask the people YOU know to look out for you or put in a good word for you at their places of employment.
