Here’s the winning comment:
Hello Mr. Franzen,
Thank you for this opportunity to talk about how The Illinois Institute of Art-Chicago’s Career Services (ILIC CS) department is using social media to help students get jobs. ILIC CS has worked very hard to create ways for students to develop professionally, gain access to the most up to date job postings, and network effectively.
http://www.linkedin.com/in/jillhinrichs – ILIC’s Career Services team all have Linkedin profiles and include the link on our email signatures. I attached my profile as an example. We connect with students, recommend them, and utilize Linkedin for research, networking, groups, and the linkedin webinars to develop professionally ourselves. http://twitter.com/aichicagotalent – You can also follow ILIC Career Services on Twitter to get the most up to date information on job fairs, employer visits, Alumni panels, Workshops (resumes, networking, interviewing, internships, elevator speeches, and properly attending job fairs).
“Ai Chicago Career Services” on Facebook:http://www.facebook.com/pages/Chicago-IL/Ai-Chicago-Career-Services/82277327909?ref=ts – Students can find ILIC Career Services on Facebook to get you tube videos, Career related articles, photos of professional events and much more to help them develp professionally and learn about the opportunities on campus to network and plan for the future.
http://haute.net/join/group/gichgk – It is important for students to network within their industry of study therefore ILIC CS has developed a HauteNet group. HauteNet is basically a “LinkedIn” for the Fashion industry – our group is constantly growing!! We post events and jobs on HauteNet.
http://careersnsuch.blogspot.com/ – ILIC Career Services also has a Blogspot where the team of advisors can post their ideas about their area of expertise or an important aspect of job searching and professional development to our students.
The ILIC Career Services has devoted itself to linking students to the real world as they pursue thier education.
Thanks again.
