My Facebook Profile

I created a Facebook page that consists of information about myself academically, professionally and personally. It includes all my favorite activities, television shows, sports, personal and academic interests/status, bibliography and my current work experience.

This page can be viewed by anyone who wants to and is a good way to get your name out when looking for job opportunities. If I were to be hired for a permanent position or get a job interview, that person might want to know a little background information about myself before committing. It is very important for people to understand where you come from, what your personality is like, previous work experience, and your education status in order to hire you for a particular position. Making a page like mine can give individuals the opportunity to get to know you at a professional level.

Due to the fact that the internet has been so widely used across the world, gives individuals an opportunity to search you on google, twitter, facebook or any other website you may be apart of. The internet can be used to your benefit if you use it properly. I learned in my ALES 204 class that twitter can be used improperly if you are not tweeting for a specific reason and rather just about what you are doing that second. It is the same with Facebook or Google. If you apply for a job, many organizations or businesses will Google you to get some background information about yourself. Everyone must be careful when posting stuff. A Facebook page is a great way to share information with others in a proper way. One of my colleagues also shares great advice in her blog post, which I highly recommend that you read. Just click here


You should also take a look at my Facebook page as well!
I have a profile and a page about myself that contain different information which you can see in my flickr photos below except for the images I added are not shown in the photo so click on the links and take a peek. 
Before my links were not working for my Facebook page and profile but now they are working just fine! 
Hope you enjoy!

  1. I agree with what you said about "the internet can be used to your benefit if you use it properly". Social Media such as Facebook is not only a entreatment but also a professional tool to help us in the future.
