Social Tools in my career

Seeing as how it is my last semester here at PVAMU, I have finally figured out what I would like to do with my life for the time being. I will go to grad school in about a year to pursue a career in politics, international politics to be exact. In my online class we had used a multitude of social tools which allowed us to take part in the online scholar community. In my career the perfect social tools I think that I would continue to use would be the Taskstream and Wiki page. I would use Taskstream because it allows me to display all of the important details about my scholarly life, as well as a few personal details I feel an employer should know. Taskstream allowed me to display my most successful Political Science papers and my resume, which although needs work, is there also. The employer could also view my employment goals and agenda, as well as my work ethic and what I want to bring to which ever place that I can be employed. The Wiki pages are another social tool that I would use in my career because it allows me to display multiple items of either the same or different thing about specific topics. It allows me to share the content with whomever I please and allows them to create and edit their own pages as well. Wiki pages will allow me to present information on items that I deem important to my field and to others who I feel would appreciate the content. These social tools were a great tools to learn and will help me extremely throughout my employment journey.
I have linked a webpage on social tools of employment here and why employers should use them...Enjoy.
