My favorite comment was “being busy does not equal being productive” ... and it's such a subtly deceptive difference! Your article hits on one of the many reasons I believe niche marketing is so powerful. With the global vastness that social media brings, it's easy to get lost. Having a clear target helps to focus your SM networking efforts ... keeping you from falling into the busy vs. productive black hole. Nicely done! Cindy Kraft, the CFO-Coach Great post, Kris.

Love the snacks analogy - healthy is better for the body and SM is more productive than socializing for the job search. :D Hi Debra – thanks!

When conducting a multi-channeled, targeted job search campaign, keeping a sharp focus on how one incorporates and uses SM is essential. Just as a job seeker is not being productive restricting their efforts to uploading resumes, individuals who are using social networking also need to concentrate their SM efforts where they are most likely to unearth a new opportunity, meet a targeted contact, learn something new that will increase their value to employers, demonstrate their professional expertise, etc. It's wonderful to enjoy SM, but looking for a new job is work and requires the mentality and discipline complementing the task. So job seekers using SM as part of their job search must treat SM as they would other proactive job search methods. Put in a different, but within a context must of us can relate to: stay away from the snacks and stick to nutritious meals. Spot on Kris!

Discussing "Avatar" really does not constitute me being "productive" LOL I have learned to put a limit on the amount of time I tweet, or at the very least, keep my focus on topic ... hard to do having "met" so many wonderful people online. Great post. Hi Kris,

I am so very guilty of this. Discussing “Avatar” really does not constitute me being “productive” LOL I have learned to put a limit on the amount of time I tweet, or at the very least, keep my focus on topic … hard to do having “met” so many wonderful people online.

Great post.
