Hi Heather, and thank you so much for your comment! As you can see on my blog, I really try to come up with insightful advice on social media strategy rather than do a rehash of what you already know…glad you noticed that, so it sounds like I am on the right track! As for your question, yes, many people don't have time for social media. BUT, a lot more working professionals are (slowly) starting to get involved. And, even if they don't read your blog, what about the hiring manager looking at your resume? I am sure they will DEFINITELY be looking at your blog as part of the hiring process, and if they like what you right, that may be the key differentiator! I have always said that, just like the Web, every industry and profession will need to participate in it. You can become the leader within your new organization with your social media skills and experience. Hope the advice helps…and feel free to ping me if you have any other questions!

Neal I'm bookmarking this post! Really really good advice, and more importantly advice I haven't heard 20 times before. The YouTube channel and SlideShare are totally new to me. Here's a question though. I've noticed that most of the people who crawl the web are like me, unemployed. The people who are employed don't have the time to do lots of social media, unless that's their job of course. So if I'm really looking for a job, how much is a blog that no one in my intended field reads because they're too busy working going to help me?
