Not an option. Not a "nice-to-have." Do it.<br />2) Do it, even if it's only to get some credibility with non-HR peers.<br />3) I agree. I'm only a local member, because it's pretty expensive, but it's even more valuable to have a network nearby!<br />4) Here's the thing: some people don't want to join Twitter. They should anyway. Even if they never tweet a single time, they can still use it as a learning resource for links and stuff. I have friends who do that well.<br />5) Again--this is not negotiable.<br />6) Same as #4. Some people can't blog/write, but they SHOULD be reading.<br />7) Yep. Make your own reputation online (don't let it be random!). <br />8) It's still amazing how many people can't operate Outlook or other MS apps. They're the standard. Know them well.<br /><br />Again, great post, Krista!Ben Eubankshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08625582971771097076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7903006477818868588.post-22753970095280098312009-08-24T04:34:35.994-07:002009-08-24T04:34:35.994-07:00This comment has been hidden from the blog.PATHWAYS to Onenesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05494379783192639925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7903006477818868588.post-18224365032063160782009-07-30T17:43:03.475-07:002009-07-30T17:43:03.475-07:00Great read and suggestions, Krista!Great read and suggestions, Krista!Kari Quaashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17098825636964425906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7903006477818868588.post-74819306228892064612009-07-30T15:55:35.410-07:002009-07-30T15:55:35.410-07:00Steve, I will look into your suggestions!
