38. Voters Recall Oregon Mayor Who Posed on Fire Truck in Underwear ARLINGTON, Ore. — The mayor of an Oregon town who once stripped to her underwear and posed on a fire truck has been stripped of her office. Voters in Arlington, population about 500, voted narrowly on Monday night to recall Carmen Kontur-Gronquist. The tally was 142-139. City officials said the recall is effective Tuesday. Kontur-Gronquist said the pictures of her in black bra and panties were taken for use in a contest about fitness, but a relative posted them on MySpace in hopes it would improve the social life of the single mother. They predated her election, but she said she saw no reason to take them off the popular Web site once elected three years ago. Later, she closed access to them. Opponents said it wasn't fitting for the mayor to be so depicted. They said they also disagreed with her on issues about water and the local golf course.

This is a presentation that was originally given to college students to help them avoid the pitfalls of making poor choices with their use of Social Media. I encourage you to use this information to guide your students, and help them to make use of Social Media to advance their careers rather than hinder them. This is food for thought, not only for young people, but as you will see, people of all ages and professions.
Because, whether you realize it or not, if you use social media, you are creating your brand. Let’s look at how, by starting with the objectives of this workshop.
At the end of this presentation I am going to ask you to share one thing you will take away from this. It might be something you want to change, or something you had not previously considered. Begin thinking about that as we go through this. Let’s start with a toast to social media!
So we can see where this is going! Funny, but not all that surprising, right? How many of you have seen something posted on a Social Media site that might be considered in poor taste?First, I’d like to get a sense of your use of social media so let’s see who’s using what.
Sue tallies who is using.So that is where you are at, now what are your guesses as to others?
Sue tallies answers.
The highlight here is the average age of users. It is not a youth playground.So why DO we need to be discrete?
How do you express yourself when you use social media?
The most significant growth social networking sites in the last few years has been among adults 50 years and older. So your MOM is on Facebook!
Notice that Facebook and Linked In are the most researched by potential employers.Job seekers are cautioned to be mindful of the information they post online and how they communicate directly with employers. Forty-five Percent of Employers Use Social Networking Sites to Research Job Candidates, CareerBuilder Survey Finds (a big jump from 22 percent last year.)Thirty-five percent of employers reported they have found content on social networking sites that caused them not to hire the candidate. Fourteen percent of employers have disregarded a candidate because the candidate sent a message using an emoticon such as a smiley face while 16 percent dismissed a candidate for using text language such as GR8 (great) in an e-mail or job application.So what can go wrong?
PITTSBURGH (AP) - A Pennsylvania school district has agreed to pay $10,000 to the American Civil Liberties Union and a teacher who was suspended after someone posted a Facebook photo of her with a male stripper.Thirty-seven-year-old Ginger D'Amico also will get more than $4,000 in back pay.D'Amico is a Spanish teacher at Brownsville High School, south of Pittsburgh. She was given a 30-day suspension, later reduced to 19 days, after someone who attended a bachelorette party at her house posted the photo of her and the stripper.D'Amico never sued, but ACLU attorneys contacted the district shortly after the suspension in January, leading to the settlement announced Tuesday.The ACLU questioned the suspension, saying D'Amico's actions were private and legal.Copyright 2010 The Associated Press.

Let’s look at some examples next.
Jenny got fired from her job for posting negative comments about her job. People are still posting negative comments about their company or boss on social networking sites. You can get reprimanded or fired because of it. Why would you bite the hand that feeds you? Say only good things about your job on social media. Don’t forget if your boss is your friend.www.lamebook.com

Using profanity, getting into heated discussions on hot button issues or excessive immature behavior are common mistakes people make.
I don’t need to read what you ate for dinner. Do I care? Be helpful to people so they want to hear what you have to say.Let’s get a little more specific in the following examples.
What’s wrong with this picture?
Points: It was a fitness contestShe did not post the picturesThey predated mayoral election
And this?
I know it’s subtle, but do you see the blunder?
What’s his story?
Quote by Sun Microsystems' Scott McNealy's infamous sound byte (1999)NY TIMES If you plan to log into your Facebook account and announce to the world that you’re heading to the beach for the weekend, you might want to append the status update with a warning that your home is under 24-hour surveillance, you have a 140-pound Rottweiler who hasn’t eaten in a week and that you own a really good alarm system.If you don’t, you personal belongings could be fodder for some tech-savvy burglars. According to New Hampshire’s WMUR Channel 9 News, three local men, Mario Rojas, Leonardo Barroso and Victor Rodriguez, have burglarized more than 18 homes in the Nashua area of New Hampshire simply by checking status updates on Facebook and then pillaging the houses of victims who announced on the social network that they were not home.Video: Lets look a little more at how our information in shared, and just how much can be discovered about us.
So these are all the blunders, but what about how you might leverage the power and freedom of social media to promote yourself?
Bad posts do not go awayEmployers (potential and current) are looking at our profilesThere is a wealth of free opportunities for us to market ourselves, if we take advantage of them and make wise choices.
