One thing I try to keep in mind is that I am a very avid user of social media and know the etiquette associated with different usages. Maybe some social media etiquette blogs are in order? What do you think? Anyone laready know of such a resource?

Patti Yaritz commented on Omowale Casselle's blog post 'Awkward, My Interviewer Facebook Friended Me'

I do share myself more with colleagues and professional contacts that have grown over the years on Facebook and I think that is a very natural progression of trust, common interest and human connection. Many of my former hiring managers and…

Omowale, I actually recently had a similar situation with a client looking to hire me as a consultant. So I came up with a viable alternative. When I am asked to be a facebook friend in a situation like that I often say that I use Facebook for…

Patti Yaritz commented on Dean Da Costa's blog post 'Diversity Sourcing!'

Why did you remove my comment? There is no solicitation... and a lot of resources people are missing out because you are not being an open networker. Why would you not pass along free value added information to your friends and colleagues?

Picture worth a thousand words? LinkedIn thread debates for diversity

Should Minorities, Women and Seasoned (older) Workers post their picture on LinkedIN? This question on LinkedIn posted by Derrick Douglas MBA got 118 comments! Wow I am amazed at the perceptions and believe there is an obvious disconnect.
