Guy Kawasaki’s new article How to Go on the Offensive with Facebook really hit home for me. He suggests that students use Facebook to help them get jobs instead of hurting them. The advice is excellent.
I was long past my student days when Facebook arrived, but I still had a healthy dose of Facebook fear. I stayed away from it for too long because I could only see the negatives. I imagined potential employers reading my profile looking for some reason to reject my resume. I didn’t see the tremendous potential.
As a telecommuter I must show potential employers my communication skills. Facebook is another chance to do that. I changed my mind about Facebook a while ago, but Guy showed me just one more reason I’m happy I reconsidered.
