Personal Branding for Career Building: How To Use Social Media To Grow Your Career

 
The traditional path to career success involves polishing your résumé and collecting business cards. Nowadays, tools like Twitter have made it easier than ever for someone just starting off in their career to "build their own brand" and to become known for the content they create. With a few clicks, you can create a platform to show the world what you're made of—and build a following. Hear from one alumna who used blogging and social media to build her network and promote her writing, which in turn led to a book deal and career in politics and media.

Kristen is an initiate of the Gamma Iota chapter at the University of Florida and is currently a Republican researcher and strategist and a columnist at The Daily Beast. She previously served as Vice President of The Winston Group, a Washington, D.C.-based opinion research and political communications firm. In 2013, Kristen was named one of TIME magazine’s “30 under 30 Changing theWorld” and one of Marie Claire magazine’s “New Guard” of the 50 mostconnected rising female leaders.

Learn about research on the Millennial generation and how best to reach this emerging and influential group.
