Kristin Dziadul’s Professional Resume
Congrats on your upcoming graduation and your award.
Nice website — well laid out and such. The video makes it a bit more engaging too.
One quick tip: I’d try creating another video that’s more natural and unscripted. Have a friend record it. Try to draw out your personality. Talk about the classes you enjoyed. How you spend your day in social media. Perhaps some witty humor — whatever comes naturally.
I understand the temptation be “professional” — especially earlier in your career, but I think it’s worth the risk. The kinds of companies you *want* to work for are not going to hold that against you — quite the contrary.
Good luck with the search.
Oh, and you should check out HubSpot.
Thank you very much! I will look into creating that video as well. I was thinking of keeping a weekly video blog of what I was doing. And I will certainly check out Hubspot, I love what your company is doing
Hi Kristin,
Congratulations on branding yourself to truly stand out from the rest of the Marketing grads.
As a recruiter I’ve always espoused that a Marketing professional’s resume and application should be a marketing piece in itself demonstrating what you would give to your employer.
I agree with Dharmesh above and kudos for going full tilt.
I spoke to our CMO Ken Herron about this site and what you’ve done. He agrees we may have a spot on the SocialGrow team once we get funding or revenues, probably in the June time frame.
Thanks for joining the SocialGrow A Team! We look forward to your feedback. We will launch in the next week.

Marsh,
Thank you for your feedback, I really appreciate it. I like what you are doing at SocialGrow and would be interested in speaking with you further about a future position. I will definitely leave feedback on the A Team group site after the launch.
Kristin
Great site for information, but the design is something to be desired. Good luck, you seem very motivated.

Ah, I should not be surprised to find my friend Dharmesh Shah in these threads.
. I accidentally found your site. Rock On, Rock On 
Thank you Marty!
One of the better personal brands for a young college grad I have seen. I like the use of video but concur with Dharmesh that you should try to be more natural. That is easier said than done! Try to work away from using a computer camera – go for a Flip. Also, I think you should have a smiling picture of yourself on the landing home page. This is your personal brand and we engage with people not logos.Well done! Bret
Bret, thanks for the tips and for checking out my site! I do not have a Flip camera at the time, but am looking into getting one soon. For now, my computer camera will have to do for my few video blogs. I enjoy doing this every day and can't wait to start a career doing inbound marketing and social media strategy for a company.

I love what you're doing with all the SM, Online Mkt knowledge. I think for start-up is great! I'm also starting with a similar initiative down here in Mexico City. Just grad myself last December from IT Management w/ MKT for IT Products & Services, it would be great to keep in touch with you and contribute / help each other to blast our ideas up. What do you think? Greetings and congrats!
Allan, that would be great! If you want some exposure, you are more than welcome to guest post on my site about a marketing topic. You can use the contact page on my site to contact me directly. I can return the favor to you as well. Thanks for stopping by and for the compliments!
Thank you for the work you have put into your nice blog. We will bookmark to your blog because it is very informational. We love the site and will come back to see your new posts.
Thank you!
Yeah I get just what you mean , being around in this day and age seems just different then it was back in the old days . I reckon our grand parents didn’t really even think about this , modern technology makes a lot of things possible . You know I have an old school point of view , but I remember back when times were different . A hand shake would get you a loan, people looked out for each other, and goods just weren’t as expensive either . I recon prices are always going to have inflation, but you know I don’t know why how come we can’t return to the time when folks cared for one another and actually knew each others names. I guess that is history, but hey, its a great day to be alive , I reckon we ott to just keep on keeping on.
It’s so refreshing to find articles like the ones you post on your site. Very informative reading. I will keep you bookmarked. Thanks!
Thanks! If you have any post suggestions feel free to let me know. I love to write for what my readers want to read about most.
Kristin
Great post. Thanks!
I love your web page! did you create this yourself or did you outsource it? Im in search of a blog design thats similar so thats the only cause I’m asking. Either way keep up the great work I was impressed with your content genuinely..
Thanks! I had a friend help me set it up on GoDaddy but other than that the design and content was all my ideas. I used a preset theme on WordPress and customized it to make it as social as it is because I am a big believer of social sharing. If you have any other questions on it feel free to contact me through the Contact form of my site, happy to help!
Kristin
Hey there, I love the particular post! Very entertaining read! I’m not sure if you have had a Twitter or not, however I am going to follow from @dmastylo if you let me know what it is?
Great to hear, thanks! My Twitter handle is @kristinedziadul there is a link to it on my home page on this site as well.
Kristin
Dear friend. My partner and i truly love your writing and your web site all in all! Your article is actually extremely clearly created as well as easily understandable. Your current WP design is great as well! Would definitely be good to learn where I are able obtain it. Be sure to keep up the good work. We all need more these web masters like you on the web and much less spammers. Excellent friend!
Thanks, I appreciate the compliment! The theme is FlexiThemes on WordPress. I self host it in GoDaddy.
Kristin
If I might –perhaps you should consider adding a few images. I dont mean to disrespect what youve said; its very enlightening, indeed. However, I think would respond to it more positively if they could be something tangible to your ideas. Keep it up, but put a little more into it next time
Thanks for the input. I try to limit the images on my site since I already use a good amount and images slow down the loading time for this site. I only try to put them in when I feel it can greatly enhance the post.
Kristin
I would very much like to agree with the previous commenter! I find this blog really useful for my uni project. I hope to add more useful posts later.
Very glad to hear, Tiffany!
I really love the way your page is put together. I think it is wonderful. If you dont care me asking what theme is this site? Thanks.
Why have you taken out my post? It was very beneficial information and i guarantee atleast 1 person found it helpful unlike the rest of the comments on this web site. I’ll post it again. Sick and tired of obtaining low amounts of useless visitors for your website? Well i want to let you know about a brand new underground tactic which makes myself $900 daily on 100% AUTOPILOT. I really could be here all day and going into detail but why dont you simply check their website out? There is a excellent video that explains everything. So if your serious about producing simple cash this is the website for you. Auto Traffic Avalanche
Which post was that?
I found this site under my bookmarks, probably bookmarked it my wife. Do you have a rss or something like this? I want to add you to my rss reader, becous liked this article especially your way how to explain this.
Yes, there is an RSS logo you can click on, you can subscribe via email or if you go to your reader just type in ‘a new generation’ and click subscribe.
Kristin
I like this site. Very practical and very inspirational. Thanks a ton. It’ll help me a lot.
Good Morning, That was a outstanding post, I really enjoyed reading your website. I am going to save it and will make sure to visit often.
Hi there right now there, I can’t access the web site the right way throughout Opera, I am hoping you will repair this!
Great site to visit on a rainy day-Adult Entertainment
I really adore the way your page is put together. I think it is outstanding. If you dont mind me asking what theme is the blog? Thanks.
It’s FlexiThemes on WordPress
Thanks! Well I host it on WordPress and just skimmed through themes that seemed simple yet professional. I went through about ten themes before I chose this one so it may take time for you to find one that you truly like. One thing to remember though is that you may get sick of your blog layout because you look at it every day, but remember your readers don\’t frequent your blog that much so they won\’t be sick of it so don\’t just change the total appearance of it just for yourself. If you want additional tips, feel free to reach out to me via the contact form of my website.

Wow, that means a lot! I love super fans
Keep up the comments and readership and I\’ll keep up with the writing. I do it for my fans, after all!
Sure you can add the ones I have but I am set with the ones I have right now.
There are changes, it seems, every day! Hard to keep up but it keeps you busy!
