Because people who don’t work directly in social media tend to look at Twitter when they have a bit of time to kill, it’s a great place to strike up casual conversations with people you would like to know better who post interesting things in a very low key way. If they don’t respond, it’s no big deal. It’s not a breach of etiquette, in my opinion, not to have the time or interest to respond to everything on Twitter.
2. Join multi-departmental voluntary or special interest organizations at work. At my albania whatsapp phone number office, I joined a book club and got to know upper level managers in several departments that I never would have met otherwise. And the more I spoke to those people, the better I understood how our company operated as a whole.
3. Once you meet higher-up executives in your company, add them on LinkedIn. First, make sure your page is appropriate and up to date. Then, the hard part for me, avoid liking anything controversial as it is immediately visible to all of your connections. If the manager does add you back, pay attention to their background and what they post and “like.” You may have more in common than you would think, and those common areas of interest can lead to some extremely non-threatening communication with your new connections. You can also follow people throughout their careers and offer and receive help in different roles as appropriate.
4. Blog about work in a positive or instructive way. and a few have been published on Monster.com. They often get re-tweeted on Twitter. It’s possible that in blogging about issues that people face in the workplace your ideas will resonate with others that you have yet to meet, but when you do, can add value to the conversation or even to your career.
I post my blog pieces on Medium and LinkedIn
