December 24, 2010 3 (Boughs from Pg. 5) Students learn to use social media in job hunt • Consider using flameless Students at Crown Point High School thought social networking was just that, socializing. However, Mary Bachnak, Business Department and I.C.E. teacher, recognizes the value of social networking for job procurement. Bachnak has invited Dean DeLisle of Forward Progress to the high school for the past two years to speak to her seniors about the importance of properly using Facebook, LinkedIN, Twitter, and other social networks in getting jobs and promotions. “Teachers are forward thinkers who bring in outside experts to validate the concepts we teach in the classroom,” says Bachnak. (Twin Lakes from Pg. 1) pany must respond. The approval also allows the POA to request documentation from the utility. A Twin Lakes spokesman said the utility has 3,200 customers in the LOFS-Winfield area. Most, more than 2,600, are LOFS property owners. The rest include those in the commercial area southwest of 109 th and Randolph, and the Stony Run subdivision. Porter Lakes and Jerry Ross elementary schools also are Twin Lakes customers. Opposing Twin Lakes rate hike requests before the IURC is a costly, time-consuming process. However, that vigilance has served to reduce or delay service cost increases in the past. Students who use social networks like Facebook or LinkedIn know the value of the social side of social networking. DeLisle came to teach the students that they need to start thinking about their e- footprint and how they can use it to get a job and make $20,000 more than their competition, other students. DeLisle, president and CEO of Forward Progress, advises businesses and individuals on the value of social networking to create an e-footprint to differentiate themselves from others and gain that competitive edge. “Just Google your name and see what you get,” stated DeLisle. “You need to control what the world sees about you.” DeLisle then illustrated the power of e-numbers. Your online eReputation is permanent. “Employers will Google your name and look at Facebook before they call you for the interview to see what your eReputation looks like.” Creating a positive impression on the web is critical because it is worldwide. DeLisle gave a lesson on how to maximize students’ friend base from 214 to over a million. With numbers this powerful, you can build your professional network, promote yourself, your product, gain trust, and credibility, all of the elements of landing that job. Regardless of age or status, social networking works. One hundred percent of Fortune 500 companies use LinkedIN. There are social networks developing every day. Being in the right one can make the difference of being at the right place at the right time. Winfield candles, which look and smell like real candles.
