Since DataSense is newly active on social media, I want to apply my experience in online community engagement to help your company get more involved in the lives of your customers. › In my spare time, I run a social media account for my friend’s book review podcast. I use the sites’ analytics to determine when his listeners are most active on the social media pages. I also schedule posts and publish them at an ideal time every week or when a new episode goes live. › I also create monthly polls to ask his listeners what books they like best and ask them to provide recommendations for him to review. With this fun side opportunity, I’ve successfully created an online book club around my friend’s podcast and increased his social media engagement—and his listenership—by 15%. › Given the chance, I am confident that this experience can help me transform the DataSense’s online presence and build a strong community of customers. WHAT TO WEAR For Men Wear a top that is comfortable, professional and conservative. For Women Pair your top with black or navy slacks or a pencil skirt (knee-length or longer) that have been ironed. If you’re wearing a button-down shirt, you may want to tuck it into your pants or skirt for a polished look. It’s also acceptable to wear khaki or cotton pants, as long as they look professional.
