Twitter & LinkedIn: How I Learned to Stop Procrastinating & Embrace Social Media

We all know the importance of Twitter and LinkedIn in our job searches, but for one reason or another, many of us have avoided learning them. Yes, you can spend several hours each day meandering through pages and hashtags... or you can learn to use them to your advantage.

SFPCN's own Julie Miller will introduce you to both platforms, show you how to set up accounts, and give you some tips on using both efficiently. She will also answer your specific questions about Twitter and LinkedIn, so come prepared to ask.

She has since worked at Publishers Group West, Down There Press, and Apress. As a member of the events crew at Cody's Books, she had the amazing fortune to work with Peter Jennings, Neil Gaiman, President Bill Clinton, John Hodgman, Luis Alberto Urrea, Barbara Kingsolver, Barbara Ehrenreich, and hundreds of other awesome authors. A long time volunteer and board member of the Northern California Book Publicity and Marketing Association, Julie has also contributed her time and knowledge to TEDxBerkeley, TEDxMarin, and She's Geeky. Since 2010, she has consulted with a variety of clients within the book, technology, and fitness industries on all things marketing, conference creation, public relations, and social media.
