Examples of employess who clearly don’t have a strategy.April 2014:- According to Fairfax Media, as many as six Royal Australian Navy sailors have been fired or face disciplinary actions over controversial Facebook posts.

It is alleged one of the sailors, who was working on border protection duties at the time had a friend write that asylum-seekers were coming to Australia to:

‘’to jump on Centrelink and get free government housing’’.

The sailor responded with:

‘’I’m about to head out today to deal with these f---ers.’’

Step 2: Engage with influencers about your topic

It’s not what you know but also

WHO YOU KNOW!

The relationships you have, also define your personal brand

Key is to find mutually beneficial relationships

Influence expert, Mark W. Schaefer (@markwschaefer),

states that :

“social proof is the best measure of online influence, or maybe the ONLY measure of online influence.”

Identify and Look at WHO you should be connecting with via social media channels, such as:

• Potential employers/fellow employees

• Recruitment agencies • Key influencers • Industry communities • Potential partners

WHO you should be connecting with?

Step 3: Create compelling content around a certain topic

Compeling content will:

• To be found / get you found in search engines (seo).

• To be identified as a candidate.

• To engage potential employment partners.

Creating compelling content

TIP: “People are searching for answers and directions, not messages or sales pitches.” Brian Solis

• Write to a person/friend.

• Write outline of copy first then headline.

• Tell a story

• Pick a benefit “what’s in it for ME”.

• String your words together in an effort to elicit feelings.

• Speak human being.

• Teach.

• Call for action.
