Information on linkedin groups

This week I met with Charles Fleming who shared information on a webinar in which he participated on linkedin.com. He emphasized what I feel we are all realizing, the importance of digitally making a name for ourselves. He shared the importance of starting a group on linkedin and starting conversations as a part of the group. As I thought about this, I had to agree and thought what would be an interesting group to start. I have thought about a group for ward employment specialists to ask questions on technical assistance they may be asked to give a member of a congregation who is looking for employment. I am also considering a group to share the latest ideas on resumes. Time will tell.

Hello to all

I have started a blog as a part of becoming even more technology savvy. I have also joined Facebook and now am curious as to how to keep up with the information that will be coming in. The great part of Facebook is the renewing of friendships that for too many years have been neglected. I have been a part of linkedin.com for several years because of work and have some wonderful connections there, but they are work related.

I realize the importance of the digital image we leave and I am teaching this concept to people looking for work, so I realized I need to do what I teach.

As you follow this blog, I hope to share ideas I am learning about keeping skills current in today's workplace; hopefully, making us indispensible to an employer.
