My Own Facebook Page!

Today, I creat my own professional Facebook page for myself. It contains my personal information, my personal resume. I always consider Facebook as a pretty casual website, where we can share personal experiences, photos.Therefore at first, When we asked to create a online personal resume by using Facebook, I was quite confused. Later on, when I am working with my professional page, I realize that Facebook is a good way for people to show themselves, and employers an get to know more about the people they want to hire.


Here is a screenshot of my own Facebook Page:

This Facebook shows my personal online resume. It will be very useful when I am looking for jobs. By using online resume, it is easier to edit than by paper resume and of course, it is more environmental friendly. Besides, when I am looking for jobs, I don't have to go to every company and give my resume out. Employers can just go to Facebook, search my name and the my online resume will appear. For applicants, they will get greater chances of job opportunity, because everyone can see their resume online. For employers, they can get to know more about applicants'  personal information, their experiences and compare with others. In that way, they can find the person who is the most suitable for the position.


Recent years, social media like Facebook becomes more and more close to people's daily lives, and it will be very important to people's studying and working. In the course ALES 204, I have learned a lot about social media. Here is Christine's blog, another student in ALES 204. I think her blog post is very interesting. :)
