Facebook Privacy: Time to Use It Wisely?
Everyone has come down on the privacy concerns over Facebook. How they want everything private, yet be able to share everything too. People are appalled when their bosses or potential employers look them up on Facebook to see what they’ve been up to. Doesn’t the solution to this seem so obvious to everyone now? LIE!
Seriously, use the non-privacy of Facebook to your advantage. Turn on everything to make your profile as assessable as you can, then lie your ass off.
Write how much you love your job and how great your boss is.
Write how this weekend you went down to volunteer at the soup-kitchen or helped illiterate people learn to read.
Post fake pictures of you just staying at home, reading a nice sensible book.
Write how you “don’t consider myself a prude, but I’m saving myself for marriage”.
Write how you can’t stand the taste of alcohol and would never think of ever doing drugs as it’s just not something you’ll ever be into, but it’s okay if others like that (as you don’t want to alienate people or be “holier-than-thou”).
Be as creative as you can, but don’t go overboard. Think of it as a fake personality. Invent someone who you think an employer would admire and want…then construct that person on Facebook, with your name.
