Tech Twins offering a seminar this week!
Career Development
The Wild Frontier – Career Advice via Social Media
We had the pleasure of presenting a session – in person! – at the 2022 NCDA Global Career Development Conference in Anaheim, CA, recently. Thanks to everyone who attended and participated in the conversation.
There’s a lot of advice posted on a variety of social media and networking platforms from LinkedIn and Facebook to Instagram and TikTok to Quora and Reddit. And, unfortunately, it’s not all as accurate or helpful as it could be. What platforms are your students and clients using? Are they actively searching for career and job search advice there, and if so, what are they finding?
View the presentation deck below, from the conference session, for examples. We also provide ideas for integrating social media into the conversations you are having with those seeking advice from you, and tips for vetting advice found online.

Tech Twins Talk Tech With Peak Careers
The Tech Twins were honored to have a discussion with Jim Peacock of Peak Careers. We talked about “Must Have Technology tools,” as well as go-to resources we use, and even highlight some tips for preventing, minimizing, and combatting tech stress. Watch the Video:
For more info on the tools we mention, links are here. Loved talking with each other and with Jim, and it gives a sneak preview of some of what we’ll be sharing at NCDA.
Tech Twins at NCDA 2021!
The Tech Twins are very excited to share that we will be presenting live at the 2021 NCDA conference!

We’ll present of what we’ve discovered this past year that has worked well in our classes, and have a time for participants to try out these tools while also sharing what’s worked for them.
