I met Lynn Heikke, President of Via-Virtual through a meet-up group. She has many years of experience in HR and training and recently started Via-Virtual, which is a social media training company, specializing in personal branding, LinkedIn, Twitter and blogging training seminars. Having been unemployed for over 8 months, I had no social media skills; I was on LinkedIn, but didn't know how to use it to my advantage, had heard of Twitter but had no idea what purpose it served and blogging, well, I don't blog....needless to say, I didn't realize the importance of social media skills until I met Lynn. I took a Twitter class with her and she guided me through the setup and how it can work to my advantage in getting me recognized in my current job search. I am looking forward to taking her workshop starting Jan. 12, a 4 week workshop with emphasis on personal branding, LinkedIn, Twitter and blogging for a most affordable price of $249! I highly recommend this company for people that are unaware of the value of social networking and do not know where to go to learn these valuable skills. read more
