WEBINAR:  Branding You 2.0: Distinguishing Yourself
in Today's Social Media

Friday, October 28, 2011
11:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. (Eastern Time)

In today's fast-paced, digital world, a great resume is the first step in creating a personal brand and positioning yourself for career advancement. It is also critically important to manage that brand with innovative online tools that will strengthen and enhance your value.

You can post a LinkedIn profile, write a blog, create a web site, and use online social networking sites...but where to begin? What's the best way to build a LinkedIn profile? Is Facebook an effective branding tool for professionals and executives? Do you need to Tweet?

To get answers to these questions, and more, please join us on Friday, October 28th, 2011, for an informative webinar.

Our guest speakers, Jennifer Cisney, Chief Blogger and Social Media Manager at Eastman Kodak and Phil Smith, a member of WNY Executive Candidates, will present and lead informative discussions on how to differentiate yourself in today's social media.
