This post will be about the importance of keeping social media websites professional. As my professor mentioned in class the other week these websites can be viewed by anyone.
Picture this,
You attend a party, have a few too many drinks and pass out. while you lay unconscious on the floor, your friends decide it would be a good idea to take pictures of you while they place lamp shades, pizza boxes, beer cans and other miscellaneous objects on top of you.
The pictures obviously appear on facebook the next day. You laugh at the pictures and think nothing of it.
Six months later, after finishing your diploma an Humbert collage, you apply for jobs in your field.
Your would be employer does a little background checking and discovers the hilarious pictures of you on facebook. Although he laughs - he tosses your resume to the side and decides to hire someone who appears to have a more professional lifestyle.
So, you see this is one of the many reasons it is important to keep things you dont want certain people to see off the internet.
