The Center for Communication presents a seminar on how to use social networking to land a job. I recommend these workshops for my undergraduates, and if you’re interested, you should look into attending.

From the Center for Communication’s website:

While social networking can be a great way to make connections and promote your personal brand, job-seekers must be sure they are using these resources to their best advantage by conveying a professional image and underscoring their qualifications. Career experts talk about the perils and pitfalls.

The event is this coming Monday, November 16, at 6:30 – 8:00 PM, at Fordham University, Lincoln Center Campus, McNally Amphitheatre (140 West 62nd Street, north entrance).

After a months-long hiatus, I have relaunched my professional site here as a complement to my personal site. The site had gone dark after a protracted dispute with the registrar for the domain name. Recently, they let the domain name expire, and I was able to register it anew through my preferred registrar.

The new JuanMonroy.com site will have a new content management system in place as well as several new features, including:

  1. a news section;
  2. a blog for my duties as a media researcher, a teacher, and a librarian;
  3. portfolio for papers and presentations;
  4. an events calendar;
  5. separate websites for the courses I regularly teach, including course podcasts.

Over the coming weeks, I will surely add more content as I figure out what can go here. In the meantime, I hope this will be of use to others in my field and to the public at large.
