Social Media can be a springboard or an anchor to an effective military-to-civilian career transition. Share the most trending news and information in your new profession and it will give you instant credibility as a thought leader. Share a lot of unprofessional behavior and ill-considered thoughts and you will have a lot of explaining to do to an interviewer.
Social Media expands your contacts so you meet and interact with industry professionals who can help determine your career future. Social Media gives you the best up-to-date transition information and Social Media helps you understand and avoid potential career pitfalls. Social Media can be a career stumbling ground when heat-of-the-moment comments and poor word choices can have lasting impacts on a choice of careers and opportunities.

The jury is still out on the question of how much social media can help your job search. However, there is no question that it can hurt it. Every rant and rave follows you like a high-tech version of pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey

Great post. This is especially helpful to military personnel, who are discouraged from using social media and are often at a disadvantage because of it when they transition.
