Foot-In-The-Door Job Seeking Practices IABC Los Angeles is co-hosting a professional development event with the IABC University of Southern California student chapter to discuss hiring practices and how to get a foot-in-the-door in the field of communications. January 25, 2010 USC Annenberg School for Communication & Journalism Admission: Complimentary for all IABC-Los Angeles chapter members. We request you register for the event to accommodate seating and light refreshments. Two distinguished speakers will share their experiences in recruiting and career marketing in the communications field. Current USC graduate and undergraduate students will learn how to stand out to recruiters and get a foot-in-the-door for the first job interview. Although the discussion primarily is directed to students and their job searches, we invite IABC-LA chapter members to be part of the discussion! This is an opportunity for IABC-LA members to give back to the student community by networking with students and offering their own pointers and insights on finding that first job. Panelists: Lilli Cloud — Founder and Principal, Blue Feet Thursday, February 18, 2010, from noon to 1:00 p.m. Toyota Motor Sales
Free parking is available in the lot in front of the TAC Building, 19200 Gramercy, in any unassigned space. Early Bird Special for Members: $20 before February 4, 2010 Lunch will be provided. Matthew May, author of In Pursuit of Elegance, and former Pepperdine professor, is on a quest to help organizations pursue elegant solutions—ideas and offerings that are at once dirt simple and surprisingly powerful. In today’s sluggish economy and brutally competitive environment, the need for ideas that achieve the maximum effect with minimum means is more imperative than ever. Anchored in a story-driven delivery, Matt’s message and methods offer a blend of wisdom and insightful takeaways that provide a practical approach to building a companywide ethos of personal resourcefulness, lablike curiosity, and designer-like thinking. Social Media Strategies for Internal Communications: A Plan for Engaging Employees Tuesday, March 2, 2010, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. El Portal Restaurant Validated parking: first hour free, $2.00 per hour thereafter; metered street parking. Early Bird Special for Members: $20 before February 16, 2010 Price includes hors d'oeuvres, coffee and tea. Social networking sites are finally finding a home in some internal communications programs. For HR, PR and IT the move presents many challenges—and opportunities. Equation Research says 75 percent of all U.S. employees now use social networks for business purposes. Yet only one third of companies are using social media internally and some 54% forbid the use of social media while at work. Are these companies falling behind by excluding their employees from their social media strategy? Join us on Tuesday, March 2nd, for a rare examination of social media for internal communications, as Sally Falkow, nationally-recognized social media strategist and PR News’ “PR Trainer of the Year” explains:
While this presentation won’t examine the basics of social media, it is targeted toward internal communications professionals and is designed to deliver concepts and strategies for using social media internally that you can immediately put into place. Sally Falkow, APR (PRSA), Senior Fellow (Society for New Communication Research) and partner in social media agency Expansion Plus, has blogged about public relations and social media strategies since 2003. More than 300 communications professionals have participated in her social media bootcamps across the country and report success with both internal and external applications of her strategies. Boost Your Multicultural Communications Outreach Tuesday, March 2, 2010, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. Location to be determined. Early Bird Special for Members: $20 before March 2, 2010 6:00 PM: Registration and Networking In an increasingly diverse society, our challenge as professional communicators is to stay current with the ever-shifting demographics of our audiences. How can the business communicator engage multicultural audiences, both locally and nationally? IABC Los Angeles is proud to present “The State of Multicultural Communications,” a rare opportunity to hear the latest trends, techniques and best practices from three Los Angeles pioneers in multicultural communications. In this power-packed session, you’ll learn:
