We live in a society where technology becoming increasingly important to simply stay afloat with the people you are competing with in the job market. But at what point do we become to internet-savvy and lose the basics that lead to success in yesteryear? For instance, I compete for Clemson's Forensics team and while it's an academic sporting event, the competitors remain in suits all day and use every opportunity to market themselves to other coaches in hopes of creating networks whether it be for the professional world or for advancing to higher ranks of academia. The identity we create online and the was we present ourselves in the physical world must ultimately align otherwise it's all a wasted effort.

Anyone could put on an act online and be someone that they are not. In an interview that I had this week with a company I had a discussion with him about social media and how he just hired a social media "guy" to help brand and market his company. It was neat to see in my own life that social media is really the "big thing" in branding. I couldn’t agree more with both you and Cara about being personable offline, that’s were it really counts.

Great advice! This post is a good reminder not to forget how to connect w/ people face-to-face and about how important that is...I believe social media skills are supposed to add to what an individual/ company already has going on...not replace. So we can't forget about the basics! The part that you pointed out as your favorite piece of advice really is very true- I agree! “be personable…in person…” Great advice!
