Do you have photos on your Facebook profile of you in a drunken state? Or are you tagged in a photo taken a friend’s stag night where the pole dancing was clearly taking place somewhere other than Warsaw? Perhaps after a frustrating day at work you once took to Twitter to lash out at your boss. Maybe your Linkedin profile is so empty that you actually look to be linked out?

Whether you are applying to business school or applying for a job, it might be time to review your online presence and clean up any embarrassing albums and outbursts, and demonstrate your level of professional engagement. Poor judgement online can even affect you keeping your job – just ask New York PR executive Justine Sacco about the damage you can inflict on your career by tweeting.

Interested in gaining professional work experience (academic credit also available) based around your student schedule? The Ivan Allen Dean's Office offers internships each semester in several areas:

On September 9th from 2pm to 3pm we will hold our third Ivan Allen College Twitter chat between students and alumni. The Chat will coincide with the Georgia Tech Career Fair; thus the topic is "How to Network at a Career Fair."

As a reminder, our Twitter chats began in the spring through the Alumni Relations subcommittee of the CLASS taskforce between C2D2 and Ivan Allen. Stephanie Jackson, Amy D'Unger, Meredith Schnepp, Jade Hill, and I have continued development on this project. Each Twitter chat brings together no more than four alums at a time to answer both moderated and student questions for one hour through social media.

We hope you will consider tuning in to the Twitter Chat. Moderated questions will be tweeted by Stephanie Jackson through the @GTliberalarts twitter account, and all tweets will use the hashtag #IACcareerchat.

The Georgia Chamber of Commerce is Georgia’s largest business advocacy organization. Our focus is on keeping, growing and creating new jobs in our state. We have an aggressive, proactive approach to state policy issues, and we transcend regional boundaries to create a state-wide network of business leaders working to help Georgia’s economy thrive.

Interested?  Send your resume to gtliberalarts@iac.gatech.edu.

Building Online Communities Without Identity:

Creating online communities is hard. Creating online communities where users are anonymous is even harder. This talk will follow the ups and downs of attempting to build thousands of online communities across the country. When we started Yik Yak we had no idea what it meant to build online communities or reputation systems, we had to figure it out along the way. We made a lot of mistakes and learned a lot of lessons, the main one being that community always comes first.

Cofounder and COO of Yik Yak:

The Health Promotion team is launching new social media sites. Please follow @BuzzOnHealthGT on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and/or Pinterest. As most of you know, Health Promotion is the primary public health outreach department of Georgia Tech and is part of the newly created Center of Community Health and Wellbeing. Our goal is to use social media as a forum to engage with the Georgia Tech community to empower people to make healthier decisions, and we know that our campus partners are a huge part of our success.
