At the 24., 26. and 29. November I believe in Berlin, Münster and Stuttgart respectively a presentation on the job search with social media for humanists. This is the presentation to.
The first lecture in Berlin today went on the stage: In my view, little surprising happened. Still getting relatively little students and graduates are at Twitter, but almost all are on Facebook. However, few use Facebook for the profession. Many are also at XING.
I was interested in the objection of a participant, the m.E. perfectly describes the situation of scholars. She asked: “How do I know because, He wants to talk with me?” This is the thing: If I do nothing and simply of go, It cares not for me – How should then close the?
Where social media is certainly not the panacea, but one way, to be active, rather than to act only as an applicant for a job.
Update: Desired for more discussions
I am pleased with more discussion/suggestions here in the blog – love also anonymous!
More information:
At this point, I would like to have on my page occupation suchen.de reference, where you find Lebenswege of people to subject groups sorted – as well as on my current books on the subject:

My demand is used after the how of contact ever as a sharp hook for my comment. Why is it uncomfortable to me, me with my name on a blog identifiable and may be vulnerable to make? The typical malaise so, they have also yesterday addressed. What is price it, What is not?
I have my first encounter with social media and Facebook from abroad, prior to ca. 4 Years made, as no one has spoken of in Germany. And to clarify one, I was and am extremely fascinated of which. I blog itself, am active on Twitter and Facebook, Since I am enthusiastic, how quickly you come into contact with people and how easy you reach of information (Networking), the one really care. I have not gone yet only one last step, Blog and profiles with my real name to play. I wear a pseudonym so and thus come to the need of my privacy.
Her lecture was really fascinated, particularly the idea of positive Reputationsmanagments. Even as a trade mark to establish positive on the net and to win opportunities on the labour market, sounds enticing. The idea is not new to me, but the day before yesterday has moved me since then to, to think again about my identity on the net. In particular in, What are the opportunities missed me, If I still remain anonymous. I stand at the beginning of my professional life (Geisteswissenchaftler) am interested in versatile, blog about topics, with my current work (so far!) have nothing to do. But the possibility, new opportunities for career or life cycle to get, should you this “give away”? Just because it holds to old structures and clings to his privacy kramphaft (typical german), or should one develop in positive, but perhaps also to hear counter (How many Americans- This is naturally a cliché)?
I have also very practical questions it:
1) They would it refer to which is to establish itself as a trend, that personal in social Netzweken looking for potential employees? I was under the impression, that there is more still to “Individual cases” is.
2) What do they think of restarting on the Web. I give them an example: I blog under a pseudonym, below that I have of course already fans and followers, It is so as “small” Brand established. Dignity of the change to the “real name” not also result in a loss of brand?? I think because of switching from Verona Feldbusch, to Verona Poth
)) It is however still the Feldbusch, or??
3) We take on the case, you would like to conclude with a person of the past for purely private reasons, and you do not want also, that they know, where you live / what moves one?? They can follow but with disclosure of the name their lives again.
The subject is moving and is tremendously exciting, I thank them for the yesterday's lecture and wish them good improvement.
Kind regards, Emma

Hi Emma,
Thank you for your comment. So much me the positive feedback is happy, so difficult I find fascinating the verb – It is me but above all, Food for thought and ideas to deliver. That shows me, together with the negative feedback, that it also gave, how much this theme yet polarized – and that I probably missed it at the lecture, the listener to pick up accordingly – zB. by I have made it more clear, There are also dark side. Typical problem has its theme in mind and believes, the audience could the rest somehow dazuassozieren.
Because you the subject of anonymity & Privacy interests, should I send you some links, as this subject very violent, sometimes polemic, some theory is discussed:
First time here a miscellany of the Heinrich Böll Foundation with a good overview of the different positions: www.Boell.de/downloads/2011-04-public_life.PDF
Anne Roth was a victim of State monitoring through a misunderstanding and has their entire privacy eingebüst:
www.Freitag.de/Politik/1142-Bitte-Recht-Freundlich
It has helped you, their corresponding experience then again publicly: www.glasdemokratie.to/tag/Anne-Roth/
(This is obviously not the fault of social media, shows but is like that).
And there is a kind of counterpoint, They sogennannte post privacy movement or data protection-critical Spackeria (According to Googling) – to a critical-neutral article here: antjeschrupp.com/2011/11/09/Mein-problem-MIT-post-privacy/ or also S. 74 in the o.g. Collection.
In your case I find it interesting, whether you move actually anonymously in the net or use only a pseudonym (S. 103 im Sammelband) and the question whether real anonymity can actually be achieved (S. 87 im SammelbSnd).(in the collection) and the question whether real anonymity actually can be reached (p. 87 in the collection).
A name change is actually, If you already have built up a reputation which, not easy: www.Zeit.de/Karriere/Beruf/2011-05/online-selbstvermarktung/Seite-1
And spontaneously I asked myself the question, If you can not just slightly longer together link clear name and pseudonym, as so many do (Here a comment to the discussion about the obligation to clear name on Google . www.plomlompom.de/PlomWiki/plomwiki.php?title = dummy fixed)
As regards the traceability of their own lives by certain persons: If this is a problem, must you have it. One should ask oneself but may also, whether to hide a solution of the problem is. And in General, you have to cost and use against each other weigh and then choose.
This decision is by the way often but rather emotional than rational hit, I note again and again, in my. Personally, I would my opinion on the matter as “in the River” call, therefore I would like to give no advice. In general I am very open, outside of social media (therefore that I like as well!) and good than bad experience made with this openness more: You get it back but getting a lot. On the other hand there are the bad experiences but also (in social media) and let me be in the meantime always somewhat restrained.
I am generally of the view but, that you be scared to the engine of his actions should be, though of course without any fear is also frivolous. And that we need to discuss just times new in the digital age, about certain values (very nice blogpost about here also netzwertig.com/2011/01/06/Digitaler-radiergummi-das-Zeug-zum-unwort-des-Jahres/).
So, now I hope, they were not too many and deterrent quotes, but the theme is now just unfortunately slightly more complex and can be answered with simple solutions.
In any case thanks for the wishes of health – I do really need
Best wishes and much “Fun”!

Ms. Janson/Simone,
Unfortunately I didn't have time yesterday, to ask you a few questions.
I personally study in the Humanities (History/philosophy) because I believe, that there are still things, the is not on 140 Characters limited explain can be. Sure enough, also is geschwätzt, and I have the tiresome acid, This is to simulate increased intelligence, more than fed up, Believe me. Nevertheless it would be the subject of one or the other sure adequate, to find suitable forms of expression, and you are m.M.n. not in the status intimation about the favorite team.
But I understood their message. Nevertheless it etched me something to, that one public impact to stage his personality / should, to draw attention to themselves. This Lärmerei of some people makes them not just interesting for me, I feel that on the contrary, as extremely penetrative.
Well and for me personally is: Rather than uncritically doing everything, consider me I, whether this development so “progressive” is and whether it wants to spark the. The social media suggest perhaps a wider and improved social community, but practically and fully analogue [Non]Handling it seems to me (!), as most egozentrischer than ever through life would go; and I wonder, whether between these two developments (on the one hand can prove, on the other hand subjectively perceived) There is a link.
I have some ideas but the grad 140 Characters are already exceeded
26. November 2011 a 20:59 Clock
Hi Philip,
(applies also to all other).
love to you
Na at least you have a Gravatarbild gambling, This is more than some (self-proclaimed) To produce the social consultant. I have also studiert… history
I'm not sure, whether the message has arrived (see response to Ellen). The message was not: Makes you interesting with your privacy. The message was: Comes out from the passive griping (I find a job, the company wants to talk with me) and become active. Somehow. It must indeed not be Twitter, If XING is a more. Or is it perhaps the own blog?
If you have ideas and you have an opinion? Super! Write down. Make a blog (for the topics, where 140 Not enough characters). Publish articles in other media. Join the discussion. Nur: Without Marktschreierei and a little (or more) technical know how it will be m.E. difficult, to be heard. And because we are facing the typical humanists dilemma: Actually there are super ideas, but it is too fine, to market themselves and at the end, it annoys, only people to be heard, that may not even have the best ideas. Nur: How should change is ever something?Only
www.berufebilder.de/Karriere/selbstmanagement/serie-schwaetzer-haben-die-besseren-Karten-Mach-Karriere-IM-system-und-Tue-gutes/
You are angeäzt? Out so that! So many people on the Internet also angeäzt - of the scholars: mspr0.de /.?p = 2378 (fascinating discussion also).
I am also angeäzt (and I am now aware something polemic):
Of businesses and HR, often simply sort the humanists in the application, because they are somehow uncomfortable and not in the schema.
And by graduates, but also professors and teachers in higher education, You dutifully say "Yeah", "we are worth nothing" is then in a kind of strange Act of defiance stubbornly to their ivory tower to focus. And with this setting, the students are then in the labour market.
I am angeäzt by a company, in the highly intelligent people, the constant self-promotion and a few other things more critical view, earn little then also (shows how little some Katja Kulmann: www.3sat.de/page/?source=/kulturzeit/lesezeit/154831/index.html), as people, rather go like Barker through life, Enter the thick salaries (What gives them often also more power).
I'm deliberately exaggerating. Want to say but: I see some aspects quite well critically. However, is social media and which so that related social change best solution to that described for me dilemma. ZB. because humanists here achieve much with communication and not already at the hurdle, fail to have studies the mismatch. This does not mean, that there is not yet a better solution. If you have ideas, then connect it.

Hi Simone!
Am pre-accession geschneit grad just happen here, to watch for, If further comments on your article are gerieselt darnieder!
The automatic notification seems not to have to work with me, what the heck. I believe I can still deal with technical questions, the direction “Geistesschwurbelschwurbel” was never no alternative for me and I decided consciously despite of the bad image…If I me you do question, why, will I probably again involuntarily funny… 
Speaking of images: into the depths of the Gravatars, I am immediately immersed before commenting on, on gestupst of the note as ↓.
And, so you've called some good points, which I actually also not much fertile can contribute to, except for confirmation and your own experience. I also think, that at the talk then something that “Intention of the speakers”
was lost, the scholars were not mentally flexible enough or they have to be very ungeisteswissenschaftlich but from a quick judgment guided.
It is definitely so, that in this “Mileau”, Yes, I say let's face it outrageously's, NE loser- and there is a losing mentality, Although much from the outside is imposed – you know the preventative to the caring relationship! – but that is why yet long not be accepted must, so hard that even sounds.
Often then the playing sucked. “self-fulfilling prophecy” with. Well in the end none of this is forced, so a study through, I think, Some skeptics have [legitimate] Concerns what this means for their future and their budget, Nevertheless, in some cases, an end to terror is better than andersrum.
I say so: I'm interested in journalism and I have therefore still the humor nonetheless or maybe, the one or other loose to see. And, I had even the outrageously naughty pleasure, Work experience in broadcasting and [public!] Television to collect, and, naja…that was pretty sobering, the priorities, those who are, so not, what you would necessarily expect. At worst I found actually here again the Gemoser with the conditions, ZT. completely traceable, but it also incomprehensible, that a system can remain, where the majority of the participants are dissatisfied – and which can be expected also no commitment.
Ultimately it's a pity the potential and the strengths of each individual, You stay on track.
Well, What could you have said where/us…you are all soft exhaustion, and now everyone pinches his seat neighbor times. Not possible unfortunately also. It's just somewhat sad, that you can win the attention of a wide audience by horrors or healing promises. With dubious seriousness.
On the other hand – This is also true – the futility of compensated, in exploring General unrelevanter tray- and special questions is. Or just not. You may already impute a bit spied some staff, and since his salvation to search – fänd I also pretty poor for my person.
The “best” Saying, I have heard in the context, which came from a music teacher: “We historians, Let's be honest yet to us: We do this, because we are at present not so good feeling, and would rather live in the past” – This was something like the style, and not even ironic.
aeaeaeaehm….no. HELP!
Well, so I don't get time off, have all possible links that you browse off and look at me by and by by. Am now also a half of the 11 million clicks or whatever, to your page.
Oh, Perhaps what finally: I'm interested in relating insanely, What actually constitutes public, How to reach that and creates, and across the nearby answers (Red howler and gentle level) addition. I beoachte in the hypocritically criticized, but like to used Facebook yet with great interest, how the good posts go down and the latest and most painful's bottom videos and “I'm going to sleep now”-Status messages “geliked” will. I'm still on the books related to come – a sophisticated theory of high-purity mammoth ivory will be safe.

Hi Philip,
Nice, that makes someone with the photo. The social media consultant was too lazy for that. As regards the notification: Have clicked on the confirmation email? This unfortunately requires the dt. Right I. By the way you can subscribe to the comments as RSS.
The statement with the looser- and I find quite true loser mentality: I have experienced such professors or. heard of (“You are so eh all unemployed” or “Career prospects? Taxi driving!”). How should because but go, If people, know only the operation of higher education, People for the graduates to give tips. I have recently course with Professor of Medienwissenschaftlichen, He said, He did not know, what he today should be with the people for the labour market of the future. I therefore believe, the such statements of a mixture between despair, Ignorance and ignorance resulting. And because it wants to prepare the people gambling on your lousy odds.
In other areas, people are also equipped with large ego and then afterwards just lie on the snout – even experienced.
Talk: Complaints about the ugly teacher does not help, You must also own worry, are interested in, Looking for opportunities and contacts – the earlier you begin to, the better.
Behind the monitoring represented by you, that you can be successful only with niveaulosen banalities, is but again a piece Humanities arrogance – often is the other side of the Loosermentalität, According to the motto: There is indeed no job, but at least we are smarter than others…
That being said this is not true also as: Clear the niveaulose stuff has often first more clicks, but now I even note, It brings more in the long term, to put on some more level and to stay true to yourself. Only e.g.. not weighty treatises to write, but to bring things applicable to the point.
The people like rather leichtverdauliche food, I think on the one hand human, but also an educational problem – Also there are approaches: www.berufebilder.de/Bildung/berufsausbildung-Schule/bildungsaktivist-Basti-Hirsch-ueber-Schule-2-0-vom-mitmach-Web-zur-mitmach-Schule/
You can ask ultimately immediately after reaching public as regards the specific question: How to become successful? There is no silver bullet. What has helped me: Own, sometimes controversial opinion, how much is courage, Tools of the trade (Design blog, technical AIDS, Suchmaschinenoptimierung), look what the readers want and a balance. With the most important but good contacts are. For example is useful. to publish in addition to the own blog in other Medie. And: The whole is incredibly long, I was here sometimes several weeks at a time to progress.

Hi Simone,
Thank you again. And, Hmm, with the arrogance can already vote. I think, It is anyway difficult, something still “objective” to see, because you selectively perceive Yes but the impressions, that fit one into the own world view. If you every now and again still themselves get with that, is that pretty frightening. Perhaps you developed an ignorance experience, because one thinks, you would know better. Is kind of hard, fight against, because you would probably destroy the illusion of not, Security in its own judgment to have. Because it provides such wonderful satisfaction.
So I think the listeners. cynical. It's really like, of course not good, but genausoschlecht – can I at least find – always to adapt, of which one thinks, It would be the general public, or the average. I fänd's for their own satisfaction/desire for “Self-realization” (what you may think, is a different question…) pretty good, ne makes/some writing work, without to be measured exclusively on the commercial success of reach. But then probably this is luxury.
16. December 2011 a 14:30 Clock
Hi Philip,
It is of course not only commercial success or range, You can contact the right people with some a few contributors. However one must know first yourself for this.
And correctly: If you earn your money with something else, can you blog for yourself and see what happens.
Simon
