Eloquence, Inc. Career Services is #Mobile!
Wow just signed in to a notice that I can now activate the beta version of my blog optimized for mobile phone viewing! Glad the powers that be at Blogger figured out we need that readily and automatically available because I can't tell you how many times I asked a friend to check out something on here and the response was about some issue with the (rather graphics-heavy) site loading to a mobile phone!
Progression, yes!
Progression, yes!

Exclusive Video Coverage from the Black Enterprise #Entrepreneurs Conference, Marriott Marquis Atlanta!
From BlackAndMarriedWithKids (which is a site I like because it is a voice of a certain sub-demographic of the black population rarely discussed and treated like a unicorn...as if it doesn't exist!).

Eloquence, Inc.: What Is Eloquence?
Eloquence, according to the Webster's revised unabridged dictionary, means
"1. Fluent, forcible, elegant, and persuasive speech in public; the power of expressing strong emotions in striking and appropriate language either spoken or written, thereby producing conviction or persuasion.Eloquence is speaking out . . . out of the abundance of the heart. --Hare.
2. Fig.: Whatever produces the effect of moving and persuasive speech.Silence that spoke and eloquence of eyes. --Pope.
The hearts of men are their books; events are their tutors; great actions are their eloquence. --Macaulay.
3. That which is eloquently uttered or written.
O, let my books be then the eloquence And dumb presagers of my speaking breast. --Shak."
The creation of this blog is partly due to nearly millions of great ideas that need to be expressed in one organized location (separate from my Caribbean culture/after-hours events blog); partly due to the realization that many friends, acquaintances, and strangers turn to me for information, resources, and progressive ideas which can be of use to many more people in the world; and partly due to the suggestion on several occasions that I should start a blog!
If there are any factual errors, please contact Eloquence, Inc. so that it can be fixed!
Enjoy and please send all comments, questions, concerns, recommendations, constructive criticisms, or any other relevant information you would like to share, to eloquence.inc@gmail.com or comment right on any blog post!

How To Get Fired In 5 Easy Steps!
lol.
http://hotjobs.yahoo.com/career-articles-5_lifestyle_activities_that_can_get_you_fired-427
This brings to mind the INHERENT trap in internet-based social networks such as Facebook, Myspace, Hi5, and possibly even LinkedIn...more than ever, your boss or potential employer can easily find ammunition with which to sink your career before it even sailed out the harbour!
I personally advocate people having a split personality on the web, so to speak. This does not mean pretend to be something you are not, but it does mean to be smart about what you are doing...
Like it or not, humans are by NATURE judgmental creatures, our minds can't deal with a infinite amount of uncategorized data...so we must prioritize and categorize every sensation and perception so that we are not reinventing the wheel every time we come across the same thing or similar things. So by nature, no matter how what you do in your private time should be of zero import to the company you work or want to work for, in reality, knowing about your wild partying every weekend and seeing the language you use with friends and such are great ways to come up with reasons to promote, or not lay off, the OTHER person whose antics are not visible to the public. Even with LinkedIn, if you don't want your current job terminated the second they realize you are scouting for a new one...it could be job suicide to announce to a network geared towards finding you a job...that you are looking for one! It all becomes like war games, with covert and overt strategies that may look NOTHING like each other, but fail at one and you could lose not just the battle, but the war! I would even go so far as to block individuals who have meant you ill in the past, before even interacting with them on that site. LinkedIn doesn't presently allow you to block anyone, unfortunately, but Facebook for example proposes people you might know based on mutual friends...if you had or are going through a horrible divorce and the ex pops up, go ahead and block him or her because they may be able to keep up with your life through mutual friends postings on your wall!
This is also a reason why the first step you should take as soon as you sign up for any site, is establishing exactly what you need to do to keep private the information that you need not display for the entire Web, but just a select few. Facebook and Myspace have popular options that allows the public to see only your face and possibly your location and last log-in date. You can set your privacy options so that only your friends on your profile's friend list can see all your information, and Facebook takes it a step further and allows you to restrict individual people from how much of your profile they have access to. So they can be your friend but maybe you don't want but a certain few family members on the list to be able to see your pictures labelled 'private'? No problem.
Security features are going to become a major issue as more people get connected, and the inevitable hackers and scam artists, shady characters, and internet stalkers (which is not necessarily romantic, I have been stalked by flat out evil-minded, idle, jealous people who simply trail you around the internet trying to find something to discredit you with!) latch onto the bandwagon.
You should know the culture of the company as best you can. If you work for a legal firm and you are the only person that does a particular job in the office...they may not want to know that you stunt sportbikes in your free time. The world use to be a great unknown, now it is becoming one big pot of TOO MUCH INFORMATION (TMI)!!!!
P.S. Is it me or as companies become more money-hungry and bloodthirsty, with corruption scandals being uncovered left and right...they are trying to find the perfect employee, which will never exist? It's like men who sit around playing the field and wrecking perfectly good relationships or potential relationships because they spend their lives in a futile hunt for the PERFECT woman, who only exists in their fantasies and possibly on tv!
Be careful out there!

Proper Use of Social Media: Twitter Rants When Your Identity IS Your Business?
Should Usain Bolt have been cursing like this on his Twitter since it is not just him as a person, he and his name are a professional product and brand?
This is the type of thing that causes many brands to have a PR rep doing the talking! Yes he's young and full of life and there are some haters out there (we remember Ato Boldon's comments against Bolt during the first Olympics)... but it's good to find a way to put people in their place without cursing for all the world to see! Some rants are best kept to face to face venting with friends.
What do you think?
