Social Media Strategist – you can get this job!
Over the last two months, I’ve been settling into my new job at Social Signal, a social media firm based in Vancouver, BC. I’m their new social media strategist! (Remember when we blogged in 2008 about how we wished that job existed? Turns out it does…)
The craziest thing about this job is that they hired me when I was still writing from Poland – so, yes, if you’re thinking that I moved 9,500 km after a Skype based interview process – you’re right. I did. You can read their take on how to hire a social media strategist at the Harvard Business Blog, their take on hiring (ahem) me at the Social Signal blog, as well as my tips for getting hired in a social media strategist job (they involve chocolate).
I’m unveiling the first social media project I’ve been working on for them very soon, and I will say this: it’s a fundraiser for a non-profit. There are superheroes. Hang on to your hats! We’ve got a live one!
