J'aime à apprendre

Dave Rhea came and spoke to my blogging class yesterday. Mr. Rhea works for The Journal Record as the social media blogger. I love The Journal Record Blog Hub because you can read various Oklahoma professionals blog about their opinions (this provides excellent reading for a hopeful business professional like me).

He said to be a good blogger you must:
  • Love to learn- The passion to learn must be evident and expressed in a clear manner on your blog and in life.
  • Wear many hats- The ability to do multiple things well is a trait needed in today's social media jobs.
  • Be yourself- Express your thoughts and opinions on your blog but keep in mind the job you want. For example, it would not be a good idea to be vocal on your political or religious views if you hope to go into a corporate job but it would be acceptable if you were going into an artistic field. 
Learn it. Love it.

  1. Good stuff! It's cool how those points relate to blogging but can also relate to life!

  2. That is what I thought, life lessons along with blogging; one-in-the-same.
