So Many Profiles

The Social Media boom that we are now experiencing has introduced us to more than a few Social Media networks, which have allowed us to connect and reconnect but are you really being yourself on all of those profiles.

It seems like every day we are being introduced to a new entrepreneur who has founded the latest and greatest Social Media site that is going to change the world as we know it. We can add that one to the list of the dominate networks such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram just to name a few who are firmly entrenched and have a strong presence in their respective sectors. But is an influx of all these different Social Media sites what we need, more importantly are these profiles really who the person is or just one of ten different profiles that they have thanks to the world of Social Media. Now of course your Social Media profile is not going to be the same as you are in person, there is a difference but it should not be so different that you are totally unrecognizable. One must always take into account who looks at these sites it's no longer just friends, family or your crush from High School chemistry class. You now have employers in all sectors that are taking a look at your profile whether you like it or not. Like I previously stated when you have so many different profiles and on each of them it contains different "personalities" of yours you are going to have a hard time convincing an employer to take a chance and hire you. Reason being is they do not know who they are getting. On Facebook your one person then on Twitter you're this person and on Instagram you post questionable pictures, you get what I am trying to say.

It shouldn't come as a surprise when you find that you are constantly being rejected for great jobs, you may have all the credentials but your online life is diminishing your brand. What we see online about you is going to be who we automatically assume you are in person. If your profile shows you like to have fun and a good time but doesn't go overboard you will find that you will have no trouble in getting any type of job because you are simply being yourself. But for those who have multiple profile personalities if you don't change that you are going to be very unhappy with the choices you are left with.
