Discussion Topic: Should Companies Hire Recent College Grads to Manage Their Social Media Presence?

As more and more companies realize the power of social media, they also realize that there needs to be an investment of resources in order to do it right.

They may, however, be able to afford a recent grad or intern to manage the effort. So there’s the question…Would it be better to put your online reputation and social communications in the hands of a recent grad? Or just stay away from social until the company finds the budget?

Have a listen and we’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments below.
