❏ What is your occupation? Senior Marketing Officer at Citizens Bank of
Edmond.
-
❏ How or why do you use Twitter? I use Twitter to develop a professional and
personal profile.
-
❏ How long have you been using Twitter? I ’ve been using it since October,
2009.
-
❏ Do you use any other social medias, personal or business affiliated? I
pretty much have tried any and all channels at some point, but I
predominantly use Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram and Snapchat.
Some for personal, but mostly for professional because nowadays nothing is
really “personal” anymore. Employers and potential employers can view
everything.
-
❏ Your comments on the value of Twitter being used professionally? Twitter
is an amazing tool for developing yourself as a professional. It has been the
defining channel for my career and is the reason why I came out to
Oklahoma. I was the Director of Social Media at a banking trade association
in DC where I met Jill Castilla. It is a way to follow interesting people and
be able to “reach” celebrities and influencers.
-
❏ Have you seen Twitter change since you have been using it? Twitter has
added many functionalities and all social media channels are changing
rapidly to keep up with each other. However, the core of what makes Twitter
unique has been kept the same and if that continues, it will remain
successful.
-
❏ Do's and Dont's on Twitter? Be yourself. Use a memorable but professional
Twitter handle, create an SEO-based bio, please use a recognizable photo
preferably a professional one. Do have something to offer in terms of
content: create a reason for people to follow you. Don’t be overly negative
or critical. I would also stay away from political comments unless it has
something directly to do with your profession. Don’t wait more than 24
hours to respond to something, it’s Twitter after all.

Who they are, what they do?
I chose Erick Worrell to adopt as my professional in the Twitter world. He is the Vice President and Director of Account Service at Staplegun.
How use twitter, how long used, use other social media?

Didn't really use it properly until he started at Staplegun in 2012
Their comments on value of twitter to professional
You get out of Twitter what you put into Twitter. You can use it - as I do - for random, disposable, mildly entertaining microblogging, which I think is the original intent of it; or, you can use it to engage with people - positively, critically, intimately, whatever suits you.
How they've seen it change, what see in the future?
Not even Twitter knows what Twitter wants to be in the coming years. I'm a big believer that things swing back and forth, like a pendulum.
Their advice on using twitter
The short version: Don't give anyone a reason to discriminate against you, rule you out, cast doubt on you or question your integrity. Especially when you need a job or are just getting settled at one.

@rcrissinger
Director of Marketing and Public Relations at Hideaway Pizza.
Helped found three PR firms in OKC, now lives in Tulsa.
Loves pizza and craft beer.
• Uses Twitter… to find news, information and local buzz. More of a listener than a talker on social media. Using it currently to find connections in common as he meets people in Tulsa.
• Started his Twitter… in 2007, during what he calls the “golden era” of Twitter in OKC (07-09)
• On Twitter for professionals… “It is a huge advantage for anyone to advance in any field, but even more so for those with careers that focus on human social interaction and motivation, like PR and advertising.”
• Twitter gave him an even playing field with a glimpse into the lives of “interesting, imperfect and awesome” people that he otherwise would not have been able to meet.
• Twitter has changed… because “it is way more populated than it used to be, and a little less intimate on average, but more powerful than ever in times of crisis.”
• Advice on using Twitter… “remember that Twitter and all other social media platforms are tools, and tools are meant to work for you, not consume or lead you.”
•Advice for graduating seniors… “That’s how you advance, not because you’re better than anyone else, but because you care more… It’s not the easy path, the easy path is selfish, safe and secluded. Stars risk the fire to burn as bright as they can. Be a star.”
