Toledo Tech Events

Our social media group has always been about the full use of these new tools to communicate. But we realize that it is important to note the legal limitations and compliance issues involved with many businesses (medical, financial planning, school districts, etc.) and well as the personal privacy issues of employees.

For Social Media Breakfast Toledo #15, we have invited an esteemed panel of speakers to explore the following topics:

* How employers think and use social media.
* How human resource professionals think about and use social media
* How employees think about and use social media.
* Best HR advice of using these tools (advice to employers and employees). 
* What employees should know about business, HR use of social media analytic and monitoring tools.
* Practical suggestions to avoid litigation/termination

Please join us for an exciting Social Media Breakfast! We are switching things up a bit this time, and focusing on social media for nonprofits.

Don’t work for a nonprofit? That’s okay. We’re looking for people to bring their expertise and partner with nonprofits in need.

Topics include: * Creating Engaging Content * The importance of scanning yourself * Setting up social media pages (how/why/what) * Integrating your social media channels * How to create (and share) a strategy with staff and volunteers

This month we’ll also be matching up nonprofits in need of help with web savvy peeps. Don’t miss this special event!

Mark your calendar for May 16, 7:45 am for SMBTOL: Using Social Media in the Job Search. A 2010 Execunet survey finds that in terms of researching job candidates "recruiters have fully adopted 'Googling' as a best practice with 90 percent regularly conducting this activity." The growth of social media has continued to fuel this activity. How can a job seeker refine his/her online reputation and what are employers looking for? This Social Media Breakfast will focus on using social media in the job search from both the perspective of a job candidate as well as an employer. The event will begin with a period of networking and then attendees will move into a panel discussion, either for employers or prospective employees.

Panelists Include: Kevin Cesarz - Communica, Patrick Giammarco - Duct Tape Marketing, Don Leith - Monster.com, and Meredith Soleau - Ed Schmidt Automotive.

There is no charge for this event, but registration is required as seating is limited. If you are interested in learning more please email tnorris@northweststate.edu.
