Re: Are you good enough?

Do you think social media plays a huge part in the hiring process?
I think it plays a huge part in the hiring process because today many employers will simply research to find information on potential employees. A social media present could make or break you depending on the type of content you have on your page.                            

What sites do you focus on for social media and networking? 
I am very active on Facebook and Instagram. I've gained a lot of clients from Facebook and Instagram by simply word of mouth and uploading a few designs on my pages. I also follow many designers, artist and photographers on Instagram where I look for events to attend. I do have a LinkedIn account but I've been inactive for a few months now.

How important do you think it is to have a social media presence? 
I think it is very important if you would like to meet and interact with people in your field. Especially if they are not local. There are some very interesting people out here and I've met quite a few of them on Instagram. 


What are your thoughts on the article.... do you feel it is accurate? 
The article was definitely a great read! He made some pretty accurate points. The figures he stated on the amount of applicants were pretty scary and has me wondering how I need to improve my job approach.
