Coastal Carolina put on a presentation last week about social media sites and their importance when branding yourself.

Yupp facebook, twitter, LinkedIn, foursquare..we all have them!

They have become a part of our every day lives, but more importantly they are now being used as a tool for networking and even getting a JOB :)

The speaker stressed the importance of creating a good image for yourself. He provided examples of how individuals he has worked with have been fired for information they have posted on there social media sites.

One thing that I found interesting was that lawyers are now using social media sites during jury duty selection to find out more information about the individuals.

He couldn't stress enough BE SMART with your choices because once things are on the internet you can delete them but they are never really gone!

Yours Truly,
