Interns & Social Media- What NOT to post on Twitter

While it is great to work with interns that are social media savvy, you also need to pay close attention to their streams.  I encounter so many companies who specialize in reputation management, yet when it comes to what their interns are writing, they have no idea. Interns, if you are going to post about your experience, try to make your postings positive while you are there, and even after. Your employer will 9 out of 10 times go back through your Twitter stream to read what you have written. Here is what NOT to post:

1) Last day of my #internship. Can't wait! Freedom
2) Working around the clock.
3) Can't wait until 5 pm arrives

While this may look "cool" to your friends, it does not look "cool" to your employers who are managing and investing time into training you.  These messages can also very easily be mis-interpreted. For example, you may be excited that your internship is ending and you have some free time left in the summer, but to your employer, it looks like you hated the internship the entire time.  Also, employers will look at the time stamps. They DO NOT want to see that you are tweeting personal posts while you are supposed to be working for them during office hours. While these may seem like minor details, they can make or break if you get asked back again next summer..

What celeb TV character are you most like?

What celeb TV character do you most accurately portray in real life? For me, I would have to say I am most like Jeremy Pivens character "Ari Gold" from Entourage. In fact, I will never forget what my closest friend in college (at BU) said I was the only person he knew who was most like Ari. While most people may be put off by Ari's character, I think he's great. Here's why:

1) Ari cuts to the chase
2) Ari is all business
3) Ari runs the most powerful agency in Hollywood (and he's good at it)
4) Ari is a family man
5) Ari knows what it takes to get to the top
6) Ari has a great lifestyle
7) Ari is always digitally connected
8) Ari knows he's the boss
9) Ari knows good talent when he sees it
10) Ari always looks stylish

Granted, Ari is a fictional TV character, but he still rocks in my book. I think his character shows the struggles of running an agency while also running a family life, and while his wife may not always appreciate his abrasiveness, he always means well and is a good guy at heart.

Entourage Embraces Sobriety

Great to see Vince getting sober in this season of Entourage. So far, Entourage is doing a semi decent job of showing the up and downs of early sobriety (Vince semi relapsing) and the end of the producers life in tonights episode. If it was a truly accurate portrayal of getting sober- not sure that Vince would be having a party his first day out of Promises.. Granted they showed the party with sober girls..but it would not be recommended to be around all of those people drinking so early on. Do you think Entourage is doing a good job of portraying early sobriety this season?
