Your sister is lucky to have you taking her under your wing. All too often great candidates just don't understand the power that social media can play in their career. Sounds like she'll be just fine. If you're looking for a good resource on Emotional Intelligence, I highly recommend "The Emotional Intelligence Quick Book" by Travis Bradberry & Jean Greaves. It's a little over 151 pages and is a quick how-to guide on discovering and understanding your EQ. Very well said Sam, thanks for your comments!

Financial, career, relationships, it is possible to have harmony, well oh maybe that's a bit too optimistic. But take 2 out of 3 anyway. My younger sister just graduated /with an MBA in health care/ and is out pounding the pavement so-to-speak. I had the financial discussion about "paying yourself first" --- ha! she FINALLY got it, after I showed her some 401k-retirement calculators. I have also asked her to "wax and polish" her facebook for a more professional presentation and create a profile on Twitter and LinkedIn prior to submitting resumes. You think she would be all over my advice since one of my responsibilities is hiring for a mid-size software development company. I finally sat her down in my office and walked her through the process I use to hire an individual. Showing her the current tools HR/Recruiters/Hiring Managers are using like Dayak, a recruiting marketplace, in replace of / or in conjunction with paper-ads or job boards. Then I took an applicants resume and started googling the individual, checking his facebook, etc... her eyes finally opened. I just want her to be smart. ; ) oh AND organized. I am buying her books to read this christmas. I think Emotional Intelligence will be at the top of the list.
