The Etiquette of Social Media
Did you know that 30% of College Admissions Officers found something online about an applicant that negatively impacted their college application?Or that more than two in five (43%) Hiring Managers found information online that caused them not to hire a candidate? Is social media preventing you, or someone you know from achieving their dreams and desired opportunities? Quite frankly, it is hard to say, as usually when we are denied something, more frequently than not, we are never told why.From the statistics above, we can see that social media is a huge determining factor in whether or not us, our children or our friends and family are accepted into the college of our dreams or into our dream jobs. In my professional life, I have always been told that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. In other words, it is better to be fully equipped and prepared for the opportunity as it arises, as opposed to wondering what we did wrong after we are passed up. Much like how a building must have their foundation built into the cornerstone that allows it to withstand the tests of time, we must have our foundation etched and chiseled out so we can be the best that we can be. This book, The Etiquette of Social Media, is the complete guide on the basic foundation that we all need to ensure that our online image is bulletproof from being judged by the decision makers of the world who may be able to have control of our destiny. Social Media is paving the way of the future. It is a new trend that is becoming standardized as a part of our daily lives. This new standard includes media outlets ranging from Facebook to LinkedIn to Quora and Twitter, along with many others.
