Job Hunting? Improve Your Social Profile First!

If you are keeping with hiring trends, then you will know that current recruitment practices involve the use of social networks to test for skills and for talent hunt. Popularity scores are rounded up to determine a candidate’s suitability. And if you haven’t considered Facebook as a job recruitment option, do so now. Because hundreds or thousands of eyes, including your supervisor/s, have sifted through your profile on social networks already and discovered such aspects of your personality that you may be unaware of. Especially if you have not bothered to control your content nor privacy settings.

This does take the fun out of socializing on networks such as Facebook. After all, the main reason was to enjoy yourself with a careless freedom, to say what you want to whomsoever you pleased. But this very freedom has cost many their jobs. Ask those who have expressed with vehemence against their ex-employers. Look at it this way: What kind of people would you seek – whether employees or business partners – were it your own company?

Social content posted by users has a great impact and the impression you leave can impede job prospects. So get a hold of the reins, starting now. Some cautionary notes to bear in mind are:

• With Facebook Timeline, you can wipe out your past and while there’s nothing you can do about wiping previous viewers’ memories, at least the future ones will see a more refined and more mature you.
• On the other hand, if you go to another extreme and pose as a workaholic, the façade won’t serve the purpose either. There has to be a healthy blend of your personal and professional side. A balanced personality is a prime quality employers seek in their candidates.
• Select your network carefully. If you can, avoid adding your boss and co-workers you are uncomfortable with as ‘friends’ on Facebook. Instead, join formal and informal groups that are relevant to your line of work.
• Actively participate in discussions on forums and blogs. That way you will stay informed about latest developments in the field and showing (not showing off) your knowledge will increase chances for employers to approach you directly with a job offer.
• Showcase extracurricular through Facebook apps embedded on your page. This should include a variety ranging from e-books to game apps, minus the adult- oriented ones such as gambling. Your selection reflects your lifestyle and habits. Generally, employers seek those people who will impact positively in the work environment.
• Finally, control not just your posts, but your temperament. No matter how frustrating your present job situation is, make as graceful an exit as possible. Social networks have made background checking far easier than was previously possible. To find out about your bout of temper in the workplace will bring your chances of being hired down to zero.

Bonne chance with your new job!

Crime Coverage on Social Media

The faster the news travels, the more successful the source. In this case, social media has defeated all other forms of media as moments are shared in real time.

The recent shooting in Denver, Colorado where 12 people died and several injured by a seemingly ‘normal’ person, has left not just the victims’ families in a state of despair and shock, but the entire world. People are now questioning, discussing, debating over social media more than ever before.

This time around, news organizations have taken a backseat and provided the larger part of the room for public discourse. As comments stream in from everywhere, it is a reaffirmation of just how social networks have transformed news reporting. And it’s not just the witnesses posting updates on Facebook, Twitter and Reddit. Even the local police and fire officials are online. The Red Cross has advised those present at the scene to inform their families they are alright. Government officials also admit to tracking for the same reason, except not so much for information as much ‘clues ’ for criminal activity on posts and blogs.


 

 

The Canadian Newspaper Association justifies mainstream media in their selective reporting because they are running a business. Consequently, there is an absence of or underreporting of crime. Where surveys fail to quantify the crimes, social media has provided it. Although dissemination does not guarantee authenticity, it certainly provides a volume that determines the existence of crimes. There are images, video and articles providing details and angles that conventional media is unable to do.

Not everyone agrees. As one media expert put it, when it comes to crime coverage, it can lead to a lot of biased opinion. As opposed to authentic reports which are more objective. Except that this objectivity, although more reliable is not as popular. Rather than being delivered a cold-cut narrative, audience is looking for compassion and more humanitarian reporting as far as heinous crimes are concerned. NBC has gone so far as to say that the most “compelling accounts” of the recent Denver incident came from a social media contributor and people such as these are the “professional journalists of tomorrow.”
