Here’s Charles’s Note To The Next Social Analyst:
Greetings Strategists,
My name is Charles Telep (@forresterjobs) and I’m working with Christine Overby, VP/Research Director, Serving Interactive Marketing Professionals, to find the next great social media analyst.
Are you up to the challenge? Do you know someone who is?
A bit about Forrester: We’re a global, independent Research firm that provides pragmatic and forward-thinking advice to global leaders in business and technology. We research, strategize, consult, and help our clients with their biggest tech challenges. Forrester is a challenging workplace, and we’d like you to help identify how technology is changing consumer behavior.
The Forrester Culture: Our CEO, Chairman, and Founder–George Colony (Blog / Twitter) has been quoted as saying: “If you’re not having fun, you shouldn’t be here.” We’re a smart, innovative company that hires people of the same caliber. I tell candidates, “We hire rock stars and let them do their thing.”
If you think you’d like to join the Interactive Marketing Team, take a look at the bullets below, or job description, and qualify yourself.
“Would I hire me?”
Non-negotiables that you should consider:
¢ Am I in the Bay area (or ready to be in the Bay Area)?
¢ Am I influential in the social community? Questions like “How many Twitter followers do I have” or “how many comments do I average per blog post” should come to mind.
¢ Would I know any of the names of those who comment on your blog, link to your blog or follow you on Twitter (to represent quality of influence, not just quantity)?
¢ Am I interested in covering the application of communities and social networks for interactive marketing programs?
¢ Could I effectively analyze the future of social technology, and organizational models that support social media marketing?
¢ Can I articulate how social tools enhance the core analyst job?Thanks for reading this; I look forward to hearing from you.

Jeremiah: I look forward to seeing this new analyst, and glad Charles took up the offer to guest post. I plan on being a friend to the Forrester family for many, many years.
“Am I in the Bay area (or ready to be in the Bay Area)?”
Pity that you still need to be locally based for a mostly virtual job.
