Picture This: Another Way to Use Social Media
Have you ever caught a glimpse of an old acquaintance online but quickly moved on to another matter? Did you later give thought to the person?
When I encounter a picture of someone that makes me wonder how they are doing, I message them. Most often it turns into a friendly phone call. On two of these occasions, our chat turned into creating new collaborative venues and a re-energized friendship.
For example, a few years ago, I noticed someone’s picture on Facebook with whom I had lost connection. By reconnecting, we created a career development fair that attracted hundreds of attendees. The attendance and gratitude expressed for my information shared encouraged me to write the book, HIRED!
Recently, I saw another picture on LinkedIn. She was instantly sent a message, and today we reconnected. At the end, we recognized a way in which the two of us may also collaborate. Now, imagine connecting with someone associated with the company where you wish to work – the possibilities are enormous!
