Great wrap-up. I hate I missed this, but it was good to meet you at Web Analytics Wednesday the night before.

Glad to hear Wayne and Jeff plugged the Deep Fried Triangle Tweetup…we’re pumped to host the event! And the badges are 100% neato…we just got them in today!

Great recap is right. I think I just momentarily relived that meeting. Glad you mentioned the nerf missile fight Capstrat certainly gets thumbs-up for those.

I’d add a bit of background to the “that girl was a HOT MESS” quote. It goes along with the personal branding conversation. This is really important, though. How you portray yourself on your social networking sites is part of your personal brand. If your tweets are public, then they may become part of your job application, even if they were not intended as such. Don’t let carelessness on social media hurt your job search.

On the other hand, if your mindset is “I am who I am, take it or leave it,” then maybe putting your raw, uncensored tweets out there isn’t such a bad idea. You’ll ensure that a stuffy company won’t hire you – thus saving yourself and the company from wasting time on a bad fit.

Great recap! I also liked when Laurie said to slow down. It makes more sense to send out several quality cover letters and pursue a few good leads than blast your resume to 300 companies. And when you’re manically applying for jobs, you’re way more likely to make the “insert-company-here” slip-up.

Totally RAD recap, Dude!

But seriously, informative, descriptive and to the point. I’d also add a #11 – It’s OK to say NO to employer requests for social media passwords or if an employer (i.e. your “boss”) requests to be a Friend on Facebook. Further, the employers that were in the room also spoke of their disapproval of that reported policy of hiring managers.

Thanks for the thorough recap, Jeremy!

Good write up Jeremy. However I must say my choice of earthtones shows that I am sensible and down to earth!

Laurie Ruettimann was awesome speaker and great advice on job search approach. I continue to be amazed at the quailty of SMC Triangle events. Thanks to Capstrat and Our Hashtag for arraning it.

I’d add to #7…

Be memorable. If you are desperate for a job, it shows, which is why it’s so much harder to find a job when you’re out of work.

Don’t be “guy #7″, be “the guy who knew everything about Facebook” or whatever your special ninja skill is.

Finally, if your a developer looking for work, McClatchy Interactive is looking for someone
