According to several reports, would-be/could-be/should-be employers are looking at your social media career—because lets face it, your social media activity is your own little PR machine with you (for better or for worse) at the helm—to inform their decision of whether to hire you or not.
Would you be mine? Could you be mine? Won't you be my employer?
It was with that in mind that I decided to put together this little missive; a guide, if you will, with hopes that said employers will catch wind, take heed and cut us some slack. Catch. Take. Cut. May this entry strike one huge blow for us job seekers.
Dear Employers,
When snooping investigating the background of potential employees, particularly me:
| You might see this: | But this is what you SHOULD see: |
|

You get the idea. During your nosing around investigation you might see things that suggest immature, wildcard, capricious… I beg you, put on your rose colored glasses and see instead creative, innovative and spirited! Arguably creative people are the life blood of any organization. Ask red-headed, enterprising, Aubrey O’Day from Celebrity Apprentice (not blond tantalizing Aubrey O’day from Danity Kane).
The takeaway: have a heart. Say to that deserving young slacker, diamond-in-the-rough, YOU’RE HIRED. You won’t regret it!
Only a creative person could come up with positive words to describe this hair.
