  1. Type Responsibly

  2. Pros and Cons of Social Media Users say the sites are good for our society, but others say that the dangers of social media outweigh the benefits.

  3. Pros Connectivity Gives you the ability to easily connect with a variety of people and organizations that you know, or have an interest in. Showcase Your Work Upload work you’ve done, like your photography, your portfolio, and mock ideas (media majors), so employers can see what you’re capable of. Supporters argue that online websites promote communication with friends and family, familiarize people with valuable computer skills, and allow contact with people from around the world.

  4. Cons Improper Use Improper use can cost you a job, whether you are searching or already have one. Your “ghosts” can haunt a search Blogs or a website you are no longer actively updating or using may still come up in an internet search for you. Opponents argue that sites expose children to predators, increase vulnerability to computer viruses, lower worker productivity, and promote narcissism and short attention spans. Personal Info Personal info: gender, age, sexual orientation, favorite movie, statuses (good or bad) will be open to the social media public, even if you’re on private in some cases.

  5. How Social Networking Sites Can Hurt your Job Hunt

  9. “It takes 2” Create separate social media accounts. If you blog, create a “work blog” that has your “important” info (photos, essays, etc.) and another blog for your opinions and obscenity, if you just HAVEto share it with the world

  10. Prospect Jobs • Google yourself. See What pops up • Make your accounts private • Never trash talk your job or a potential job • Make sure to keep your comments, wall postings and images PG • Don’t allow friends to TAG you • Don’t Curse • Keep your profile as clean and professional as possible

  11. Current Jobs • Avoid postings anything negative about your job or Boss on your page. • Have your friends remove any pictures of you from their page that you would not want your boss to see. • Watch what you say in social networking sites when you have taken a sick day. Your boss will expect you to be at home recovering and not at the cowboys stadium according to Facebook.
