Suprax For Sale

Dan Klamm — Wed, 19 May 2010 12:28:14 +0000

Suprax for sale, Congratulations to all of this month's college graduates. Buy cefixime,

Soon many of you will enter the workplace for the first time.

Here are three skills to master before you begin your first job:

1, suprax generic. Order suprax, Accepting criticism

True to the Gen Y stereotype, I used to have a hard time accepting criticism. I didn't think I was perfect; I just didn't like hearing other people tell me when I wasn't. I think this is a common weakness in our generation that has the most potential to hinder our workplace success at the entry level. In your first job it is essential that you accept feedback so you can learn how to perform better in the future.

For many new grads in the workplace, suprax coupon, Buy no prescription suprax, it's uncomfortable to receive what I call "360 degree criticism."

Throughout school you only received feedback from your teacher/professor. Once you enter the workforce, you might get feedback from your boss, suprax injection, Cefixime suprax, colleagues, clients, suprax chlamydia, Suprax dosing, and even Trudy the IT girl down the hall.

Many new grads are used to receiving feedback on their work in a very controlled way from one source. Learning to accept criticism from all sorts of people--and then process that criticism to determine what's valid and what's not--is imperative, suprax 200 mg.

Visit this site for tips on accepting criticism at work, suprax for sale. Suprax medicine,

2. Writing coherent e-mails

Confession: I used to write long, suprax cefixime, Suprax dosing, rambling e-mails.

They weren't very effective, buy cefixime. Suprax cefixime, Being able to write a concise, professional e-mail is important. Before you start composing a message, suprax drug, Cefixime suprax, think.

What is the purpose of this e-mail?

Would it make more sense to pick up the phone or stop by the recipient's office?

Also, avoid hitting "send" immediately after typing a response. Take two minutes to check your message for spelling, suprax chlamydia, Suprax suspension, grammar, and clarity. You'll quickly earn the respect of your colleagues if your e-mails are well-written, buy suprax online, and you'll lessen the opportunity for misunderstandings.

Here is a more extensive how-to guide on crafting professional e-mails Suprax for sale, .

3. Managing your time

One nice thing about college is that you're able to work around the clock. You can procrastinate assignments until 2 or 3 in the morning, and then sleep in until noon.

At most workplaces, you won't be expected to pull all-nighters, but you will be expected to complete projects on-deadline. And arrive at work before noon. This requires more efficient management of your eight-hour work day.

Develop a time management system that works for you. Some people like to make lists and cross off tasks as they are completed, while others block off chunks of time in their Outlook calendar.

Make sure that - whatever system you use - you prioritize your work. Avoid letting small tasks get in the way of completing an important project, suprax for sale.

On that note, keep distractions to a minimum. I've found that checking e-mail once every hour makes me more productive than immediately reading (and responding to) every message as it comes in. This allows me to concentrate on the task at hand. Setting-up similar reward times to check Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, and your other favorite spots on the web will also streamline your work day. Don't keep these sites up all day - you're just begging to be distracted.

Here are some additional tips on time management from the infamous Penelope Trunk.

What other skills do you think are important for new grads to master as they enter the workforce.

“Help! I hate my job!”

Dan Klamm — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 11:00:16 +0000

With so many people struggling to find jobs these days, it's become taboo to complain about work. If an employed young professional expresses even the slightest inkling of discontent, the collective voice of the economy shouts back, "You're lucky you have a job!" Unemployed friends glare at you. Parents dismiss your complaints and mutter something about health benefits. Mentors tell you to tough it out. Unfortunately, many young people are not prepared for the realities of possibly disliking their first job. College career centers focus their efforts on career exploration and job search mechanics. There's plenty of programming about resume writing and networking, but I've never seen a workshop entitled "What to do when you hate your first job" or "Office Politics 101: Dealing with crazy co-workers." So I'm going to present some strategies for coping with a job you can't stand and laying the groundwork to leave before the job saps your soul.

Identify why you hate it.

This is an important step. By identifying the reason you don't like your job, you know what to avoid when looking for another position. And it's not always obvious. Is it the actual work you're doing? The structure of your day? The managerial style of your boss? The pace of activity? The level of responsibility? The autonomy (or lack thereof)? The flexibility? The amount of gossip? Are your co-workers throwing office equipment at you? There are so many possible reasons you can hate your job; it's best to pinpoint exactly what you don't like. Certain industries are prone to specific types of behavior, so if you know what you don't like, you can avoid putting yourself in a workplace with those circumstances again. For instance, higher education institutions are known for deep, analytical thought and lots of meetings. If you are not someone who enjoys dissecting a problem in 3,000 different ways - and would rather jump into action solving it immediately - working at an institution of higher education may not be for you.

Separate work from life.

I've noticed that the people who get really distressed and depressed over work are the ones who allow work to take an unnaturally large role in their lives. Don't let your work define you. If possible, avoid checking work e-mail after you leave the office. Engage in fun activities and exercise. De-compress with friends after work. If you're in a position that's not a good fit for your competencies or your personality, you may get criticism related to how you perform your job. It's especially important that you don't internalize this criticism. If you're in a job that doesn't let you shine, it's easy to get down on yourself and start thinking you're a failure. The criticism is not a reflection on you as a person; it's your fit for the position.

Find the positives.

Even in a job you hate, there has to be something positive. Do you have a hilarious co-worker? Are there opportunities for professional development? Can you network with people inside (or outside) the company to propel you to your next job? What about the benefits? Does your salary allow you to enjoy nice things outside of work? Do you have vacation days? Flexible work hours? Health insurance? A retirement account? Make a list of all the good stuff about your job and look at these reasons whenever you need motivation to keep plugging away.

Make friends.

Isolating yourself at work will only make you hate your job more. Try getting to know the folks in your office. Talk about life outside of work. Talk about the weather. Talk about your favorite TV show. Do whatever you have to do to make a more pleasant experience for yourself at the office. In the event that your co-workers are actually the reason you hate your job, try to identify one or two colleagues who you consider fun and/or normal. Even in the most dysfunctional workplace, you can usually find a couple level-headed people. Stick with them. If necessary, form a "sanity alliance" where you occasionally vent and laugh about the bizarre things you witness within your workplace. Make up secret nicknames for your co-workers, if it helps you to keep your spirits up and not take your situation too seriously.

Develop an exit strategy.

Set a hard deadline date for when you will break free from the job you hate, and develop a strategy for getting to that point. Map out the specific steps you need to take to get your next position, along with a timeline which includes weekly and monthly goals. The job search involves networking, updating your resume, applying to jobs, and more. In today's economy, it typically takes more than three months to successfully land a job. That's why you need to plan ahead.

Avoid burning bridges.

If you truly hate your job, chances are everyone at your office already knows this. They also probably know you're looking for another job or will be doing so within the next year. It's really not necessary to torch all bridges as you exit, though, so avoid doing things that will infuriate your colleagues and jeopardize future references. Complete your work to the best of your ability and don't incite negative conversations about the workplace among co-workers. You are lucky to have a job right now...but just because the economy is in a rut doesn't mean you have to be stuck too. If you're miserable in your job, think about these strategies and plan your exit now.

The Art of Getting LinkedIn Recommendations

Dan Klamm — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 11:00:32 +0000

College students are joining LinkedIn everyday. In the last month, I've received numerous questions about LinkedIn recommendations -- who to ask, what to write, how to follow-up, and more. Here, I will provide a few tips for approaching the LinkedIn recommendation request process.

Ask people who know your work well.

Ask for LinkedIn recommendations from your biggest fans! Stay away from requesting recommendations from people who are only lukewarm about your talents, or people you haven't worked with in a long time. The best recommendations provide positive and specific feedback about your work. "Jill is a great addition to our team" is not nearly as compelling as "Jill's warm spirit and collaborative nature, showcased while working with a cross-functional team on our website overhaul project, made her a great addition to our team." You can request recommendations from professors, supervisors, colleagues at internships, classmates, and virtually anyone with whom you've shared professional or academic experiences.

Ask people who can write well (and spell correctly).

Your LinkedIn recommendations are a reflection on you. If your recommendations are filled with spelling errors or poor grammar, your own personal brand may be knocked down a peg. Request recommendations from people who can articulate their thoughts clearly through writing. Think it through before you ask for a recommendation, because it's very awkward to ask someone to alter their recommendation once it's done - especially if there are no glaring mistakes, just poor writing.

Give them some guidance.

Don't use the generic "I'm asking you for a brief recommendation" text. Personalize each of your recommendation requests and give the person an idea what you'd like them to emphasize within their write-up. It can be simple: "I'd really appreciate if you could write a few words about the blogger outreach project I completed during my internship," or "I'm looking for jobs in marketing research, so I'd appreciate if you could place emphasis on my work with qualitative and quantitative studies last summer." Just giving this short prompt will help the person write a relevant, helpful recommendation for you.

Be polite and say "thank you."

If someone takes time out of their day to write a LinkedIn recommendation for you, make sure to express appreciation - both in your initial request and in a follow-up message once the recommendation is written. People may feel used if they spend time writing a thoughtful recommendation and you don't thank them afterwards. The only other advice I have is to focus more on quality than quantity with LinkedIn recommendations. It's better to have three descriptive and meaningful recommendations than 15 generic ones. What is your best advice for LinkedIn recommendations?

Internships for Introverts

Dan Klamm — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 11:00:17 +0000

An internship is an opportunity to gain experience in a work setting and make valuable professional connections for your future. To be an effective intern, you need to adjust to your new surroundings, get to know people, contribute to projects, and make a positive impression on your colleagues -- all in a short period of time, usually about 3 months. For an introvert, who typically likes space for introspection and thrives on building up relationships over time, an internship can present challenges. Here are some suggestions for how to hit the ground running as an introverted intern:

Prepare for meetings

While extroverts thrive on the spontaneous, back-and-forth exchange of ideas, introverts are not as effective when speaking off the cuff. We like to think things through and analyze possibilities in our heads before saying them aloud. Therefore, whenever possible you should research issues and collect your thoughts before meetings. Ask your supervisor what topics will be covered in a meeting so that you can adequately prepare.

Show that you're paying attention

Maybe big meetings and brainstorming sessions are overwhelming for you -- ideas bouncing around, everyone talking at once, total sensory overload -- so you remain quiet. Others may perceive your silence as disinterest, when in reality it's just that this particular type of conversation does not allow you to process information in your preferred way. To counter this perception, find opportunities to show you are engaged. Set a goal to make 2 meaningful comments during each meeting. (The bonus: if you speak rarely, people will really perk up when you do voice your thoughts.) Another idea is to forward to the group a relevant article that you find after the meeting, or initiate an impromptu follow-up conversation with one or two colleagues to show you are invested in the topic.

Share your accomplishments

It's easy for people to assume that you're doing nothing if you sit at your cubicle all day and don't make much noise. Therefore, it's important that you keep your colleagues in the loop with what you're working on. If you feel like this is "bragging" about your accomplishments, try initiating a conversation to seek advice. "Sue, I just got a request for another product design from Client X. Do you have any suggestions on putting together a design sheet?" This way, you subtly keep your co-workers aware of what you're doing, while getting their professional input on your work. You don't want to be the intern that no one knows exists - or the one that everyone thinks is just surfing the Internet all day.

Focus on one-on-one relationship building

Play to your strengths. If you're uncomfortable sitting around the lunch table with a whole gang of people you barely know, ask one or two of your colleagues if they'd like to get lunch somewhere else. As you work with people on various projects, pick up on their professional and personal interests, and forge connections based on common ground. Be inquisitive. As an intern, you're expected to have questions - not just about the projects you're working on, but about the people you're working with. You can make friends just by showing a genuine interest in their lives. As an introvert myself, I've been much more successful at building strong connections with co-workers by talking with them one-on-one instead of in large groups.

Use e-mail to your advantage

Introverts often say that they're more comfortable with the written word as opposed to the spoken word, because through writing they can express themselves more fully and articulately. That's why I think e-mail can be a powerful way for introverts to get their voices heard initially. For instance, if an intern has complex questions about one of her assignments, she can lay out the questions in an e-mail and then discuss them with her supervisor in-person. Or if an intern wants to propose a new project, he can explain his suggestions in an e-mail and invite an in-person conversation on the subject. This way, e-mail is not replacing interpersonal interaction...it's just being used to help introverts fully express themselves and facilitate more productive in-person conversations. If you classify yourself as an introvert, I am curious to hear about your experiences with internships. Did you run into any challenges, and if so, did you attribute them to your introversion? What strategies did you use to build connections with co-workers? Did your supervisor value the strengths that you possess as an introvert? What suggestions do you have for introverts about to start their summer internships?

Relocating After College

Dan Klamm — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 11:00:30 +0000

For graduating seniors, choosing a location to land after college is a big deal. This decision often comes with anxiety, uncertainty, and lots of questions. Should you head back home? Follow your friends to a big city? Explore options abroad? Stay in your college town? When I graduated, I chose to stay in my college town (which happened to also be my hometown - Syracuse). This particular path suited me because I like the location and I work at a very good job. Will I stay in this town forever? No. I'll explore other options as my professional and personal needs evolve. For getting a jumpstart on my career, though, working in Syracuse has been ideal. My college friends went all over the place. Several went to New York City, some to Los Angeles, a few to Boston, one to Houston, and one even went across the pond to London. Most of them are very happy with their geographic choices. But a few of my friends, as well as some of the college grads I've advised over the last couple years, have been unhappy with where they ended up. If you are in the process of deciding where to move after college, here are some things to consider:

Cost and quality of living

Investigate what it really costs to live and thrive in the locations which interest you. Talk to young people currently living there. New York City is a popular landing spot for many new grads, but some don't fully consider the cost before moving. Ask friends who live there if they are enjoying the city, going out three nights per week to participate in arts and culture and dining and bars or if they are crammed into a one-bedroom apartment with two others, eating PB&J for dinner every night. Look into entry-level salaries and consider your student loans and other debts. Think about your lifestyle preferences - whether you need a daily Starbucks drink and expensive clothes to be happy, or if you can be content with more meager spending. Anticipate whether your family will be providing monetary support, as this will also impact your ability to afford certain cities.

Social life

Where are your friends going? What opportunities will there be to meet new friends in your desired location? If you enjoy an active social life in college, do you expect to continue this lifestyle into your young professional life? Do you want to be out-and-about every night of the week, mingling with other young professionals? In college, there are always people to meet and things to do. As you transition to a new environment, do you expect the same pace and level of activity? Some cities have a bustling social scene, while others are dead. Ask yourself what type of city fits with your social needs. Also, look into whether your desired locations have active young professional societies.

Weather

Give serious consideration to the weather. If you're someone who thrives in warm weather, think twice before venturing to a frozen tundra to live. Seasonal depression is a very real thing. Alternatively, moving from a cold place to warmer climate can present its own surprises.

Professional opportunities

The obvious first step is to investigate whether your desired location has any job openings in your field. Next, though, you should examine the types of jobs and levels of responsibility. Don't assume that bigger cities have better jobs. Sometimes a new grad may be able to secure a higher-level job in a smaller city, as opposed to a big city where competition is fierce. In my case, by staying in Syracuse I skipped the traditional entry-level assistant role and went directly into a job with more autonomy and responsibility. If you're thinking about moving to a new location, spend a few days there. Set-up informational interviews, scope out living situations and transportation systems, and talk to people. By actually spending time in your desired location, you can determine whether it's a good fit for you. Additionally, take a look at the top ten cities for new graduates, as decided by Gradspot.com. Finally, reflect on what you really want out of your new location. Whether you stay in the same place geographically or move across the globe, you are shifting into a new phase of your life. Ask yourself what you want this phase to look like.

Three Costly Mistakes by Job Seekers

Dan Klamm — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 11:00:07 +0000

Do you feel like you're putting lots of effort into your job search but not seeing results? Sometimes, job seekers feel discouraged by sending out dozens of resumes and not getting interviews. Or getting lots of interviews, but never converting them into job offers. The hiring process is different for every organization, so I can't speculate as to why someone may not be experiencing success. There are many possible reasons. However, lately I've noticed a few common mistakes among students and recent grads.

Not showing enough enthusiasm for the job

Potential employers can tell when you're just not that into them. They can tell by your cover letter, interview responses, follow-up, and attitude throughout the whole process. Let's face it - it's tough to develop a sense of enthusiasm for one particular job when you're applying to 30 or 40. That's why you need to research the company and the specific position - so that you can customize your application materials and speak in a genuine, informed way about why you want to work there. No one wants to hire someone with a "meh...I'll take anything" attitude. If you want a particular job, you need to show it.

Over-sharing on the internet

The subject of inappropriate content in social media profiles has been covered extensively. At this point, I think most people realize that it's not okay to post pictures of you doing kegstands or snorting coke online, because research shows as many as 80% of potential employers look you up. But what about your everyday status updates? If you're one of those people who updates your social network status 40 times per day, you risk looking less professional in the eyes of an employer. Does your potential boss really need to know that you got in a fight with your parents, or that you're trying to lose 20 pounds, or (the most damaging) that you're feeling desperate because no one will hire you? Just as you are selective and strategic about what you share in an interview, use discretion with what you allow potential employers to find when they dig for information about you online.

Missing the small details

Many employers receive hundreds of applications for every job opening. You'd be surprised how easy it is for them to rule you out based on a small error - poor grammar, a typo, calling someone by the wrong name, misunderstanding the job description - because they have tons of other qualified candidates lined up. And sometimes it's about what you're not doing, such as the candidate who spends 3 hours getting a tour of the company and interviewing with senior execs, and does not send a thank you note. Always send thank you notes after people take the time to interview you. It's a simple step, but forgetting to send one can put you at a disadvantage. Cultivating a sense of enthusiasm for the job, being strategic about what you share online, and paying attention to the nuances of the job search process can help you succeed. I'd like to hear from other recruiters and career services personnel, what are some common mistakes you see job seekers making? What can they do to fix these mistakes?

Making Your Own Opportunities

Dan Klamm — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 11:00:08 +0000

Last week, Seth Godin professed that "safe is risky." Many people follow directions, aim for approval from professors/bosses, and color inside the lines. This aversion to risk is actually risky -- in that you risk not taking advantage of the world of opportunities around you. Godin used the example of a student only interviewing with companies that come to her campus to recruit. In doing so, she shuts herself off to all sorts of great employment options, including small/medium-sized companies with no formal recruiting programs with her university. The student's unwillingness to strike out and go after other options signficantly limits what she can achieve. I completely agree with Godin. In today's economy, it is imperative that you make your own opportunities. You can't wait for things to fall into your lap. You need to go out and make them happen. Propose an internship idea to a local non-profit where your skills can be utilized. Cold-contact someone within a company that interests you. Set-up an informational interview with an alum in your field. Start a blog to demonstrate your expertise. Go up to a guest speaker after class and strike up a conversation. Launch a company. Write a book. Do something.

My story

A few months ago I was reading through my local newspaper and noticed that it lacked content relating to social media -- specifically, how job seekers could utilize social media to aid in their job search. This was a niche I was pretty familiar with, as I had written posts here and presented to several audiences on this topic. So, I sent an e-mail to the business editor in which I offered to pen an article for the paper. I expected not to hear back. Fast-forward about six weeks, and my first article was published in The Post Standard on the subject of leveraging LinkedIn and Twitter in the job search. It turned out that the timing of my e-mail was perfect; the newspaper's editors were looking to assemble a team of local career experts to tackle issues relevant to today's job seekers. If I hadn't sent that e-mail, I wouldn't have had the opportunity.

My advice

Today, it's more important than ever to take a proactive approach to your career, whether you're a college student or workplace veteran. Once you know what you'd like to accomplish, take strategic steps to make your vision a reality. And remember, some of the best opportunities lie beyond the comfortable boundaries that you've come to know.

#EntryLevelTweet: Your Job Search in 140 Characters

Dan Klamm — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 11:00:49 +0000

I know what you're thinking: there's no way to give meaningful career advice in 140 characters. I generally agree with you. But Heather Huhman's new book, #EntryLevelTweet, defies the norm. Broken up into six sections, the book packs actionable tips into simple, 140-character blurbs. It's perfect for a college junior or senior embarking on a job search. It's even more perfect if the student has a short attention span, because this book takes only about 30 minutes to read. In #EntryLevelTweet, Heather boils down advice on a broad range of relevant topics (from identifying your strengths to networking to rejecting job offers) into poignant, tweet-sized capsules. I will highlight a few of Heather's particularly insightful suggestions and add my own commentary.

#6: Listen to yourself, to your needs and wants rather than those of the people around you.

This is so true. Especially if you're approaching the end of your college career, you're going to have some decisions to make. Do you move home? Should you follow a significant other to his/her desired post-college location? What type of job should you pursue? Are you torn between two drastically different career fields? Maybe you're contemplating an outside-the-box job option like the Peace Corps, or teaching English in a foreign country. You're probably going to have all sorts of people exerting influence and offering their well-intentioned advice. Do whatever you can to weigh this advice, but ultimately make decisions that are best for you. (This is easier said than done.)

#58: Tweets are limited to 140 characters, so choose your words wisely. Also, consider carefully whether or not to abbreviate.

In reference to using Twitter in your job search, Heather suggests careful consideration of words. I agree. If you're going to use Twitter for job search purposes, it better be a good representation of your professional knowledge and communication skills. Don't tweet abbrevs on the regs. "Wndring how 2 find a list of cmpanies 4 commz majors, r u 2?" -- this type of thing scares some hiring managers, because they worry that if you write like this on Twitter, perhaps you'll write professional e-mails the same way.

#85: Ask your intended references what they would say about you if called by a hiring manager. You don't want surprises!

First off, make sure your references know that they're your references! You don't want them to be caught off-guard. Second, select your references based on their ability to give strong, positive, and specific feedback on your work. It doesn't help to list the Senior Vice-President as a reference if she can't comment on your work besides, "He was a pleasure to have around and seemed to always be on-task...the two times that we met." Furthermore, you can coach your references a bit. Keep them up-to-date on your latest achievements and goals so they can be more informed and target their comments. Finally, as Heather suggests, ask them directly what they'll say.

#104: If you didn't have much internship experience in college, I recommend applying for internships after graduation.

In this economy, a job search can take six to nine months. During that time, your skills stagnate, the experience on your resume looks less fresh, and you lose appeal as a job candidate. When you sense that your job search is going to be a long, difficult one, it's best to take an internship or pursue part-time employment in your desired field. This way, you keep yourself current. A post-college internship is not necessarily a bad thing; in fact, it can be a very useful stepping stone. I will definitely be recomending #EntryLevelTweet as a guide for students getting started with their job search. Though I would have liked to see more real-life stories to illustrate the principles in the book, it would be awfully difficult to do that in 140 characters! This book's strength is its concise, easily digestable nature. I'm glad to see such a helpful resource for today's students and recent grads, incorporating advice on social media with the more traditional (yet still important) job seeking strategies. Well done, Heather! Author: Dan Klamm is the Outreach & Marketing Coordinator for Syracuse University Career Services. In his position, he is responsible for student engagement with Career Services.

How Introverts Can Benefit from Social Media

Dan Klamm — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 11:00:42 +0000

Your career success hinges on your ability to network with people and promote your professional self. For introverts, both of these things can be challenging. The idea of attending a networking event is enough to make some introverts sick, as is the thought of boasting about one's accomplishments in an interview. Luckily, social media make it easier to both build connections and show off one's professional expertise. Here are some ways in which social media can help introverts in finding career success.

Social media can facilitate conversations

My friend Lea Marino says that social media are great for making introductions and facilitating conversations. I agree. If you identify someone you'd like to meet, you can develop rapport online and eventually carry that over to a phone or in-person conversation. You don't have to cold-contact people anymore; you can warm up relationships through social media first. This makes things easier for people who get nervous about the introductory contact and ensuing small talk.

Social media give you time to think about your responses

In social media, there is little pressure to respond immediately, as you would be expected to do in a face-to-face conversation. Many times, introverts aren't very good at formulating witty comebacks or quick retorts on the fly. In certain face-to-face social situations, this may make them feel like they can't keep up with the pace of conversation. (I feel like this sometimes.) Social media give you time to compose appropriate responses which can be sent 5 minutes or 5 hours later.

Social media let you delve into a niche

Introverts are known for being able to converse in great depth on subjects they're passionate about. Social media allow you to connect with other people who are passionate about the same things as you. Not only is this a way to constantly learn about your field, it's is a great way to build professional relationships. Once you establish yourself as a household name in your field, you'll be sure to hear about job opportunities as they come up.

Social media provide a window into your mind

Introverts live in the world of ideas. These ideas are not always translated into the spoken word. For instance, I am quiet in group settings. Usually I have major dialogues going in my mind, but only certain parts are voiced aloud because I think carefully about what I want to say. Sometimes I'm not able to say everything I'm thinking, especially when meetings are dominated by extroverts. With social media (blogging in particular), you can reveal the insights that you have. When a hiring manager searches for your name and finds your intelligent ideas, he/she will be impressed. These are just a few ways that social media can help introverts for career advancement.
