Your Social Media Life Might Render You Jobless

Published by Nairaland on Fri, 19 Feb 2016


Its been a while seeing different opinion/argument about social media life, personal life and career.As much as i support the motion that the social media have big impact not only on our career but our life as a whole, It still baffles me how some people have turned deaf hear to the facts and figures of the happenings about and around this topic.Let's dive into this and learn together;The Old TrendFor years, HR department have been doing their job with much stress trying to know whom you are, what you are, your flows and other things about you with questionnaires, references and other forms of research.I have been part of two firms HR and some how in employment decision making of other firms. I see the truth about the questionnaire or research thing, its simply corporate gambling' we keep believing we are getting facts, what we believe is your (employee) fate' The best scenario we could have is someone that knows you that can share his/her view about you with us, without you knowing we spoke to such person. Thus the Social Media came to our aid.The New TrendFour(4) in every Five(5) Human Resource (HR) personnel are now running to the internet to aid their research about a prospective employee. An employer that goes online would base alot of fact about your personal life, social media life, and career on not less than 40% of your social media accounts, thus the percentage may vary up or down depending on your career type, level and what service(s) is required of you.Source: Your Social Media life might render you jobless. [VIDEO]It's normal that not everyone will support a motion. I have heard different argument saying;My social life is totally different from my normal lifeI only do those things on social media for funMy BBM status/PM is just to create conversation and scare hatersI could continue the list but let me stop here.Let's also forget about listing the obvious bad life some of us live online, of course we see them everywhere, and let me point out two facts until i do my next post about same topic.Your real self is when no one is watching you: We wrongfully think social media (e.g: BBM) is private because we are either chatting in the Conner of our room alone or twitting from the toilet. dear brethren, you have to think again.If you live a different life on social media, you will scare the employer: It is simply delivered has, you may still have another type of life to live if offered employment which smart employers won't look away from, thereby making is a tougher one to get the job.So what about the peeps whom are not socially active, wait for my next post about this topic. But before we have the next post, what's your view about one of the most arguable social media topic;Does your social media life have effect on your career or original life ' Share your view in comment.Source: Your Social Media life might render you jobless.
