The social media assignment that I engaged in was Facebook where I liked 10 business or people and then engaged in discussions relevant my career. I was surprised by how many different things applied to a Biology education major! It was interesting to learn and find the many different opportunities for my career and I felt like it was worthwhile. Social media can help me connect with possible businesses that may hire me and it allow me to explore the many different options for my career. The articles about social media surprised me because I didn’t realize how strong of an impact social media played in people’s lives. I was especially surprised about the Facebook article where it talked about how relationships can really be ruined just by the social network and how different people act just because they are behind a computer screen. The impact that social media has on our lives got me thinking about everything that I should and should not post on my Facebook. I’m getting older now and potential employers may look me up on Facebook and I want to seem like a good candidate for the job so I may have to change some things in my social media world.
I was also surprised about the impact that social media has. It is also great that you understand that in the future potential employers may look at your profile.
