Facebook Extra Credit

Facebook profiles reflect who people are. This social network showcases activities people are involved in, they friends they have, and an overall biography of themselves. This can be a positive or negative aspect because employers can look at applicants and judge them based on what is on their Facebook.

My Facebook profile can be improved in many ways for when employers to evaluate it. To start, some of my pictures with my friends can be taken off because in we are intoxicated in a few. Plus, some of the pictures I am tagged in are inappropriate because there is alcohol in them.

I traveled a lot this summer, so I should create separate albums for each of the places in my pictures. This would show employers that I am willing to travel and adventurous. Also, I would go into my information section and add more accomplishments and goals. For instance, I would add in all of the community service I have done and where they were located, along with what I plan to accomplish in the future. I would list my hobbies and activities I participate in to show that I am very well rounded, as well. Another aspect I would work on is organizing my profile better, so when companies look at my page, everything I want them to see is easy to find.

Overall, having a good Facebook page is very important in getting a job. People need to make sure there is a lot of information about themselves in their “About Me” section to help employers understand them better and have appropriate pictures.
