Social Media For HR – Now & Next [Interview With Laurie Ruettimann]

Posted by Jennifer on July 2, 2012  |   6 Comments »

I’m on vacation this week – well as much of a vacation as a self-employed person can take – and I’m coming down from a fantastic month of attending and speaking at conferences, as well as connecting with a ton of new professional relationships and long-time social media friends!

However, I wanted to take a moment to share this great Q&A led by Curtis Midkiff with my friend and Cynical Girl – Laurie Ruettimann – from The Hive at the 2012 SHRM Annual Conference. Watch this brief video (email subscribers click through to view) to learn more about:

  • Tips for HR pros who want to get involved with social media for their job.
  • How to find usable info on Twitter
  • Using social media to facilitate connecting with professional relationships online – and offline
  • Is Twitter a credible source of information?
  • How do you use social media to connect different generations (or can you)?
  • Are you doing it wrong by using social media as part of the hiring process?
  • What’s coming next? (Hint: Going retro.)

You can also learn how women like Laurie’s Mom are using Facebook. Now that’s money right there.

    Love it! Nice to see put some faces to the blog posts. In HR we need more peeps like Laurie. I totally need to get to SHRM13 next year in Chicago.

    Keep it up Laurie & Unbridled Talent.

    Happy 4th!

      Thanks for taking the time to add a comment Ben! There is a small army of HR peeps out there talking it up online. I’m glad to see many getting more exposure – and often with Laurie’s support and guidance!

      Congrats for being the winner of the commenter who uses the word “mega” the most in a comment! :)

    Money line: “Take the decorum that you use at your job daily and apply it to social media.” Simple, yet fantastic advice!
