Twitter: Go from Eye-Rolling to Enthusiastic
By Vicki Voisin, ACP
Do you roll your eyes when someone tells you they love Twitter? Do you think Twitter is a huge waste of time? Do you think Twitter has no value for you in your career? You may want to think again. Social networking, and especially Twitter, can be a powerful career tool if used correctly. First, a brief comment about two other popular social networking sites: LinkedIn was launched in 2003 and now has 85 million users. It is primarily a professional site where people set up a profile that resembles a resume. This is not a "fun" site...it is used for professional connections. You can connect with individuals and you can also join various professional groups. Everyone should have a presence on LinkedIn. Facebook has 500 million users...that's 1 in every 13 people on earth. 40% of Facebook users are between the ages of 18 and 34. Launched in 2004, Facebook is more social...you'll see people sharing pictures and life events, as well as adding items to their farms. Both LinkedIn and Facebook are reciprocal...in other words, you cannot connect with someone unless they accept your invitation...and vice versa. Twitter launched in 2006. At 175 million members, it is the fasting growing, most popular and successful social networking site. Twitter is easily accessible. Posts (called Tweets) are short (140 characters) and to the point. You can "follow" people on Twitter without their permission. Of course, there will be more interaction if they "follow" you back. However, you can learn a lot just by following someone so don't let this stop you. And this one street but can turn into a relationship that leads to learning and other connections. If Twitter is used well, here's what's available to you: • Global networking and interaction with paralegals, attorneys and other legal professionals. These are connections you would have no idea existed except for Twitter. They can be very helpful for your career development • Inside Information about law firms and corporations • Access to cutting-edge knowledge and resources; sources of information that will help you keep your skills current • The ability to establish your credibility and marketability • 24/7 real-time stream of information from a globally diverse population • Information about your specialty area • Looking for a job? You may access the hidden job market and locate open positions that are not advertised; remember, employers are using social media to find and explore talent; you may connect with hiring managers, decision makers, recruiters and influencers; you'll also have the ability to research companies to increase your credibility at an interview. •Blog posts, articles and events that are important to your career development How do you start? Set up your profile. Include your picture...no one wants to look at an avatar and lack of a picture does nothing to forge the relationships you're looking for. Be sure you're truthful. Choose connections carefully and then, like joining any group, watch and listen. Monitor and observe Twitter sites that are of career or personal interest to see what the conversation is like. What do you Tweet about? Events, conferences, trends, recent accomplishments, books you're reading, helpful resources, interesting articles. The list is endless. Just be sure you're contributing meaningful conversation. Stay out of overwhelm. Twitter does not and should not take all your time and energy. Choosing three primary themes such as "paralegal" "career management" and "marketing" or whatever you're interested in. Keeping to three areas will help you stay focused and not get sidetracked. Don't hesitate another minute: get started on your Twitter profile right now and start reaping the benefits of your Twitter interaction. Be patient and invest the time you need. Ask good questions, make connections. It will pay off in the form of a larger network of colleagues and friends, as well as a broader knowledge about your professional interests. =========================> ©2010 Vicki Voisin, Inc.

4—LEGAL EMPLOYMENT WEEKLY

Illinois Paralegal Association
SNOW DAY! By: Caren Mansfield, a member of the Illinois Paralegal Association Wow, the news today said that for the fourth year in a row and not since records began more than a hundred years ago, Chicago has received more than 50 inches of snow. Downstate we are just not quite so lucky. Still we have received our share of weather this winter including a tornado, thunder snow and freezing rain. With the advent of the snow comes SNOW DAYS! I am just like the kids in school. I love snow days. When you live in the country like I do even a little bit of snow on a windy day can keep you off the roads. So even though I love my paralegal assignments, a snow day is a day to decompress. A snow day is “a whatever I want to do day”. A snow day is also a guilt free day. Really. Advisories tell everyone to stay off the road and be safe. If you live in the city, those sidewalks won’t be cleared and you can risk falling and hurting yourself. So having just had a snow day (without power) from the Blizzard of 2011, I want you to consider what to do when you have a snow day. Here’s my list for snow days: 1. Take a nap. Sure, you just got up in case you had to go to work, now you don’t have to go so, take a nap; 2. Read a book. You are not going any place. Pick a book and read for a while; 3. Go outside. It’s really nice to go outside and enjoy the snow when you don’t have to do anything else. You can shovel the sidewalk if you want but don’t overdo it. Or, you can be really community minded and shovel someone else’s sidewalk. Remember, the goal of a snow day is to have fun; 4. When you come in from making the snowman, having a snowball fight or making snow angels, it’s time for hot chocolate. 5. Watch something you would not ordinarily watch on TV. Or, more important, don’t watch any TV. Start a project. 6. Start a fire (in the fireplace if you have one). If you don’t have a fireplace, don’t start a fire! 7. If completing tasks makes you happy, balance your checkbook, do the laundry, run the vacuum cleaner, you get the picture. 8. If you have kids, just talk to them. We get so busy sometimes we forget to just talk. Drag out the Monopoly game or Uno. You know, pretend like it is the olden days (prior to all the technology). 9. If you have a dog or cat, spend time with the creature. Nothing is better to de-stress from our everyday lives than the unconditional love from pets. 10. Dance. Turn on one of the Michael Jackson specials, hit CMT, pick up one of the satellite music channels or pick up your iPod. Get the kids to join in. Dance around the house. It really is good for you. You can’t help but smile and thank goodness no one really is watching. 11. Take a nap. Nothing better on a snow day after all the activity is to get in another nap. You will be refreshed for tomorrow when you return to work. Okay, so take my list a little tongue in cheek. I hope you get the idea I am after. Snow days can be wonderful, beautiful ways to relax without that feeling of guilt. If necessary, yes you can work for home but don’t miss the beauty of the day. Please remember that all of the above is the opinion of the author and does not necessarily reflect the views of the IPA. For something more related to the paralegal profession check back next week.
