LinkedIn increasing wages

Briefly talking about the way LinkedIn has taken over for the professional network is for us all to know.  How exciting does it become knowing a recruiter or hiring manager has reviewed your profile! It literally activates a eagerness to want to succeed and label your accomplishments on the website. LinkedIn being such a user friendly app to gain exposure and insight into companies has been a great platform in finding jobs. I look forward to seeing all of you on there as I would like to be Linked to your professional profile.

    Apparently I have a LinkedIn profile although I don't remember setting it up nor do I have any idea about how to access what is there. I was really hoping this class would be a short learning experience as to how to accurately establish a profile and use it as it was intended to be used. I know that many of my peers rely on LinkedIn rather than Facebook to establish professional relationships. I'm going to do more research as to how to use that profile more effectively. Thanks for the reminder.

    I have a LinkedIn profile and I found the job search tools better than any other service out there. They provide work for people looking for middle management to senior management levels and you have the ability to present yourself online in a professional setting. I do not utilize Facebook or Twitter often but,I keep up with my LinkedIn profile and the articles presented by my links. I look periodically at the job availabilities but, as of late have been fortunate to find a great position with a good company. I continue to use the LinkedIn site for industry interest.

    LinkedIn a great source of establishing professional relationships, reconnecting with former coworkers and connecting with news with new employers. It has worked well for me especially as it points to reviewing new jobs. Indeed it ignites a fire in you knowing that a recruiter or or hiring manager has reviewed my profile….I check in with LinkedIn at least 4 times a week.

5.2 Extra Credit - Maura Buechner - Skender Construction

Skender construction is one of my firm's biggest competitors when it comes to hiring talented people.  There is a definite shortage of engineers coming up in the construction ranks and Skender is working hard to recruit them all.  They recently began a social media marketing campaign for recruitment that centered around the video below: They have blasted this video on all of their social media accounts as well as updated the "Careers" section of their website.  I think this video makes potential employees much more likely to look into working at Skender.  I think the video is incredibly effective due to the young talent they are featuring, the diversity in the talent, the visually stunning video of projects they are doing as well as the interviews from current employees and lastly the music and overall production of the video envokes a feeling of emotion and confidence in their company. Their target market is definitely millennial engineers looking to s...

4.3 Lincoln Park Zoo

The Lincoln Park Zoo is a not for profit organization that is celebrating their 150 th anniversary.   The zoo is free to the public and is in the heart of Chicago. In addition, to providing care for a variety of animals, they also have educational programs for all ages as well as a host of public/private events throughout the year.   Although the zoo receives funding from the Chicago Park District more than two-thirds is generated from sales at the zoo through their restaurants, gift shops, parking and private events.   The zoo utilizes this money to update/renovate many of the animal’s habitats and to provide educational resources to the community in order to raise awareness of the importance in caring for animal wildlife.   The Lincoln Park Zoo uses many forms of social media for marketing including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and SnapChat.   The Lincoln Park Zoo’s campaigns have included many activities that are...

5.2 Extra Credit - Bradley Newell

One company where I saw a huge social media marketing campaign was Dove. Being a very popular campaign that went viral on many platforms, Dove set out to empower women across the country with inspirational advertisements and videos by reminding them of their self-worth and importance. Featuring women of all different ages, races, and shapes, Dove was there to remind every woman that they're worth it. I feel this campaign would influence many women to purchase their products because of the sense of importance they would feel after seeing their advertisements. They pulled at the heart with many emotional scenes and interviews with this campaign and that is most likely what influenced a lot of women to purchase their products for not only themselves, but their younger daughters as well. This is definitely an effective marketing strategy that is aimed at women of all ages. I feel what Dove did with this campaign was as effective as they could be. They were interviewing real people and ...
