Here are 8 questions to prep for in advance of an interview for a social media job. A 🧵... For each question have these three things thought out and ready: - A specific example - Your role in the project - What 1-3 lessons you learned

I’m not on here much these days, but I’ll make an exception to thank my good friend and supporter @TheJennyLi for the nudge to talk openly about the next phase of work after social media. We got vulnerable and real!

I feel this in my bones but working in the bureaucracy and the structures, and the death by committee that is #HigherEd. tiktok.com/t/ZT8Ljc18w/

“In that sense, we’re probably better off if the stranglehold that social media has on the creative industries is loosened. Twitter ought to be for posting. Our hireability—and our personal brands—should be a separate matter entirely.”

@karlafung There we go! Now there’s proof there was a massive event going on behind you! 😆

Ok, maybe it would be helpful to see the background 🤣 Image description: Karla, Chris and TC posing with the grads in the background at Golden 1. #UCDavisGrad

I love this, and the students who made it, so much!

Met the LEGEND herself! So lucky to have spent time with you, @lizgross144 and thank you for the inspired conversation!

@UCDavis_Kerlin @ucdavis

📢We are hiring for our amazing Social Media team @ucdavis! Looking for someone who wants to be at the bleeding edge of of the profession working with GenZ and admissions. It's where all the fun really creative work is! (Job ID #54349) hr.ucdavis.edu/careers/

When your work is appreciated and valued from leadership 🤩

@codytoshiro Lol! You can always count on me to get in on the trend 😂

Sub note on this one - the failure HAS to be yours for this to count. I can't believe how many candidates I have interviewed who use someone else's failure to answer this and then talk about how they came in and saved the situation. 🙄

3) An example of something you tried that failed. What did you do to take ownership of the mistake. How did you grow from it? Did it change your strategies moving forward?

Coming back to my own thread as I prepare the hiring process for a social media position...and dang these still ring true 2 years later!

@jeanettebruiz Omg amaaaaazing!!!!! Congratulations 🎉

@DGaynor16 Always here to hype the strategic approach!!! And be a cheerleader for you! 😁

I may start calling @SallieB everyday at 9am for some wisdom. Todays knowledge drop: "strategy is just editing"

I seek small joys at work to keep me positive. Those include: - Announcing unexpected snacks to the team - Surprising a colleague with something thoughtful - Sharing positive and detailed feedback beyond "good job" - Canceling certain meetings and moving updates to email😁

@lizgross144 @ucdavis Thank you so much for sharing this @lizgross144 ! It’s a cool experience to hire your own replacement!

Fun fact - this was actually @Chancellor_May ‘s original idea to film. The team @ucdavis did an outstanding job making it happen that was fun and real. This is what engaged and authentic leadership looks like.

@s_beechem @ucdavis @HigherEdJobs @prsache Thank you for sharing this!!

Thank you @cassandrapye for sharing your humanity and inspiring the communications community @ucdavis! I think we all needed a little of that inspo 💙💛💙 (“#9 And the Oscar goes to…” was just what I needed to be reminded of today)

@RJPenman Me too! So many people have this same experience (well maybe not the switching to Econ 😂 part) and mine was life trajectory changing.
