melduncan on 18 Nov 14I would agree that social media profiles are becoming as important as your resume. I have heard many business professionals comment on the importance of having a social media account that lists your credentials.

People use this data that depends on purpose. Some may use for recruitment, some use for connected learning ans some use to accept you as your friend or not. So business professionals started using their social media accounts for their profiles

mbchris on 26 Nov 14I have heard this recently and I do not have nor really want to have a facebook account. I like how this explains the reasons why though. My way of combating this trend is to try in either get my work featured somewhere online so that I am searchable beyond social media and use more private and professional social media sites, such as linked in. But this is a very important article for the times, thank you.

liyanl on 26 Nov 14Actually I don't think so. Personally think Facebook is more about personal use and private, but resume is more professional. For example you wouldn't never put a photo that your friend and you was in a pub on your resume, but you may put this on Facebook. However, LinkedIn do better in professional online profile in terms of social media networking.

Kelly Furey on 03 Dec 14I would argue that LinkedIn and Twitter are better indicators of professional accomplishment. I would like to think that as of now Facebook is still relatively private considering its primary function is to serve as a social (more intimate/private) communication tool rather than a networking platform. I have heard employers openly admit to using LinkedIn as a preliminary screening tool. Regardless of the forum, social media will continue to play a significant role in reflecting our personal and professional identities.
