  24. A1) Not LI specific, but if you don't believe in yourself, why should anyone else? #LinkedInChat
  25. RT @conpsweeney Q1) @bizsavvycoach If you can’t sell yourself, you can’t sell your products, services or book #linkedinchat

  29. A1: Bragging (occasionally) can help you build confidence in your work. #linkedinchat
  30. A1) No one is going to speakup for you ij regards to what you can do/what youve done. If you want a job, people need to know #linkedinchat

  48. A1 - As far as bragging - How do I know you know your stuff? Do not tell me but show me. #linkedinchat
  49. #linkedinchat a3: In the Hotel Industry it is more about the stories and how to add value. When you do it right then you receive brags

  58. Biggest challenge for jobhunter is to take accomplishments and build illustrative stories around them. #LinkedInChat
  59. A5) Possibly not having enough confidence in yourself/not wanting to sound like you're bragging #linkedinchat
  60. ...The stories then can illustrate why they need to hire you. #LinkedInChat
  61. A5) Often laziness not wanting to take that extra step, being content with simply having done something yet not marketing it. #LinkedInChat

  73. @andyb531 and tell the story that relates to the conversation ... (2 of 2) #LinkedInChat
  74. A6) It can be a good reminder to you on your accomplishments #linkedinchat
  75. @socialwebcafe Absolutely. But preparation, building the stories, is the hard part. Any tips? #LinkedInChat
  76. RT @booklover1992 A6) It can be a good reminder to you on your accomplishments .. Very True. #linkedinchat
  77. @andyb531 The hardest part for me was sitting down & doing it. I thought it would be harder, but once I got in the groove.. #LinkedInChat

  83. .@conpsweeney A9) Showcasing your work. Bragging can't get any better than the #LinkedInChat
  84. A9) #LinkedIn is great because it's the new age resume. An update that allowed for video resumes/ cvs would be awesome #linkedinchat
  85. I think #LinkedIn took away your number of connections to cut down on the numbers game #linkedinchat
  86. @ChaimShapiro Yeah, #'s of connections is not a useful statistic. That's just bragging old-school. #LinkedInChat
  87. A10) #Linkedin keeps people competitive. Someone sees their friend has a hot new job encouraging them to get a better job #LinkedInChat

  102. Hello @conpsweeney, @socialwebcafe, and everyone else in #SocialCafe! I am Mariah and I'm an RTVF major/ Comm minor at UNT !
  103. A great quote by school principal, Eric Sheninger : "if you don’t tell your story someone else will."  http://esheninger.blogspot.com/2015/08/get-your-brag-on.html  #SocialCafe
  104. When I coach, I use the word "stories" for bragging #SocialCafe
  105. Hey everyone! First time attending #socialcafe! Social media strategist here looking to learn & network!
  106. @conpsweeney I think "bragging" has a negative connotation but I think celebrating achievements is a great practice! #socialcafe
  107. Advice, create a "stories page." The nice thing is you can always add to it (edit it) through time.. #SocialCafe "Getting your brag on"
  108. @socialwebcafe @PayingForSchool #socialcafe And always adapt to the needs of either a potential employer or client!
  109. Let's practice a bit. How about sharing a brag point? #SocialCafe
  110. @1MariahMartinez @socialwebcafe #socialcafe That's good but put it in the context of why is that good for an employer!
  111. Hey students. Just wanted to let you know that #SocialCafe is back at its "old" time slot of Tues 9p EST #ccmkt350
  112. @socialwebcafe Would "Maintained a gpa of 3.7 throughout my current 3 years at a Univeristy" count? Or is that too broad? #SocialCafe
  113. @conpsweeney @socialwebcafe So maybe... "Continuously excelled in strategic social media and media production courses"? #SocialCafe
  114. @socialwebcafe @conpsweeney I like to point out some big name brands that are recognizable, who I've worked w/ in my portfolio #socialcafe
  115. @conpsweeney @socialwebcafe I have both. I use each platform differently. I want to share these moments with my FB audience. #SocialCafe
  116. The folks at @VoltJobs tell us "How to Brag on Your Resume When You're Bad at Bragging"  https://shar.es/1czn4d  #SocialCafe
  117. @conpsweeney Oh yes! I have heard that! #SocialCafe // I've been on Twitter since you had to manually put in "RT"s to retweet anyone
  118. .@PRMktgSalesI just discovered these today as well! . @conpsweeney is great to interact with during #LinkedInChat (8 PM EST) & #SocialCafe.
  119. .@PRMktgSalesI just discovered these today as well! . @conpsweeney is great to interact with during #LinkedInChat (8 PM EST) & #SocialCafe.
  120. #socialcafe Everyone comfortable with #bragging about real & relevant accomplishments
  121. @conpsweeney I actually have a really hard time "bragging". Is there anyway to /practice/ that? #SocialCafe
  122. Another name for "stories page" ..> How To Write A Brag Sheet To Get Promoted  https://shar.es/1czmzd  via @PMPhacks #SocialCafe
  123. @1MariahMartinez #socialcafe Yes, work on your social media profiles & content & join @Toastmasters for real practice
  124. @conpsweeney @socialwebcafe My FB audience consists of near/far friend, familial, & professional connections (w/intermixing). #SocialCafe
  125. Before we close.. a homework challenge: Take time to sit down and write out 10 stories that demonstrate your accomplishments #SocialCafe
  126. @kristensadlier I'd follow a Kristen Sadlier page! You could start a page for content curation for your field of interest. #SocialCafe
  127. Now you've got me thinking about what I need to "brag" about. 'Tooting my own horn', not waiting for others to notice me. #SocialCafe
  128. @PRMktgSales #socialcafe Yes The movie was wrong! They will not come if your just build it! You have to promote it!
  129. #socialcafe OK all we'll stop here for tonight! Have a great week & hope to see you next week! Please bring your friends!
  130. I avoid bragging online/offline, unless it contributes to the conversation. I find bragging can stunt an in-progress connection. #SocialCafe
  131. @1MariahMartinez I think, for my field(s), an up-to-date online portfolio is beneficial. I'm not sure that FB is the platform. #SocialCafe
  132. @1MariahMartinez I've witnessed friends attempt this. I want a hub that can be shared, but, perhaps, is not Facebook based. #SocialCafe
