What's Your Score?

I guess I am behind the times when it comes to knowing your 'influential' / 'popularity' score. A service called Klout provides users, including famous people, with Klout Scores. These scores indicate how much you influence the people around you. Below shows how the score works:

Klout uses your social media connections to determine your score. On your profile, it collects your 'moments' from your recent interactions and posts on your various social media sites. Basically, the more that your friends comment, like, re-post, reTweet, etc, the more your score increases.

I've connected my few accounts and I have an okay-score of 39. What does this mean? I think that for businesses, a higher score means that you are already influencing others, and getting more people talking about your company. For an individual, it's more like bragging-rights material. What do you think?

So now I ask you, What is your score? Do you think this score really matters?

Job Searching

Almost everyone has tried to search for a job. In my father's words, "looking for a job is a job in itself." So what does job hunting have to do with marketing?

Well, I am currently looking for a marketing job! :) And there are many branches in marketing and business, so I'd like to share with you some of my favorite job titles in marketing.

Marketing Manager
This title is very broad, but wouldn't it sound great to be a manager? You can be in charge of keeping things organized, and overlooking the "big picture" of the marketing department. You might work with functions such as training, presentations, technical analyses, and other leadership roles.

Social Media Coordinator
If you love Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest, this is the job for you. You'll manage the social media of your company, by planning the content, the calendar, and all else social. Setting up the time/date for posts seems easy, but across multiple platforms and with huge audiences responding with comments - it can get busy and scrambled! (This job is best for the organized marketers out there!)

Digital Media Analyst
This is for those of you who can look at large amounts of data and be able to see trends, problems, opportunities, and other relationships. You'll look at analytics and tracking sources to help your company find new ways to improve the media launches, new content promotions, and other infrastructures.

Anything else?
If you have a favorite marketing job title, comment here and let me know! Plus, I'll keep everyone updated on my job searches! :)
