to get a job USING SOCIAL NETWORKS

Internet is a very powerful

tool. It allows you to keep

informed about everything

happening in the world, to

connect with other people and

to show yourse l f , your

interests and your skills. Now

we are used to have a public

profile in a Social Network,

like Facebook, and we share

our life with our friends and

acquaintances. These Social

Networks could also be useful

to be visible in the laboral

market and to connect with

e m p l o y e r s o r w i t h

entrepreneurs. For that

reason you can decide how to

use the Social Networks and

then show the part of yourself

that you want to be visible

and hide the part of yourself

that is only private.

facebook?WHY

WHO IS IN MY SOCIAL NETWORK?

How do you want to use your facebook profile? Think if you want to use the social network to have fun or on the contrary, to get into the laboral market. If you choose the first option keep your profile more private and accept only your family and your close friends. If you choose the second option you can accept as friends as many people as you want, but you should update your status and upload pictures more carefully. It's always your decision!!

Your image in the social network is the face you show to the world. It's not you, but the public part of yourself.

It's a good idea to think twice before you upload a picture, you update your status or you post a comment! It's very easy to do it and very hard to delete it.

Your private life still remains private if you don't show it on the internet. You can always decide who is going to see your picture, but you cannot choose what is going to happen after that.

The moment you send a picture by your phone, it isn't yours anymore.

It's nice to see you among your friends, having fun and showing your hobbies and skills :). Don't be afraid, but choose your pictures before you upload them.

E-MAILYour e-mail is your first letter of presentation. If you wrote your address thinking about having fun with your friends maybe it's not the perfect mail to put in a CV or to give to an employer. Think about having an easy to remember, clear, and recognizable e-mail for the labor market.
