These days, an embarrassing photo on a person’s social media profile might make all the difference
when trying to land a top job. Increasingly, companies are examining applicants’ social media profiles for
information to use in the selection process.

As well as doing online research of social media, companies usually contact previous employers for
a reference.

Many people are careful about the information they post on social media. In addition, they often have
a private profile under a different name that employers will not recognize.

Besides being unethical, using information from social media as a basis for discrimination against a job
applicant is illegal in many countries.

The private life of employees should remain private. What is more, employers have no right to try and
control what employees do in their own time.

There should be laws to restrict how much information companies can look for. Above all, they should
be banned from trawling for negative information.

Companies argue that information that is freely available online can be seen by anyone. Also they point
out that it works both ways and applicants are free to do research on a company.

It is common practice for companies to get useful information about their customers when they sign up for
a free offer. As well as accepting the free offer, customers have to agree to certain terms and conditions
that they don't read carefully. Companies are then entitled to bombard these customers with spam. What
is more, they might pass on information to other companies who will send out more spam.
It's always important to read what you sign up for and bear in mind that nothing is completely free. Above
all, make sure you are aware of consumer rights in your country so you can challenge companies who
use information about you in an unethical way.

It is fair to say that the job market today is difficult because, not only are there fewer jobs, there a lo more
candidates for each good post. Furthermore, globalization has meant that candidates can apply from a lot
further away than was the case in the past. In this essay, I will outline what you need to do to in terms of
online presence to ensure you are as well prepared as possible on the job market.

The first thing you need to do is to keep your online profile up-to-date. Besides ensuring that all the
information is in one place, it also means that potential employers might find you without your needing to
apply. In addition to including professional and academic information, it is best to check the words you
use because sophisticated search engines look for them when looking for candidates

As well as keeping your online profile looking as professional as possible, it is also advisable to limit your
social online presence particularly if friends regularly tag you at parties. Furthermore, it is worth checking
your preferences are set as privately as possible, so you do not reveal too much publicly.

My final suggestion would be to comment and write on the internet in a way which you feel is appropriate
and in a way that you are happy for others to see.
Besides comments and posts, this also refers to email and blogs.

Overall, I would say that an online presence is a must in the current job market, but is clearly an area you
have to maintain regularly.

Opinion Essay 2

The job application process is a lot more complicated than it used to be and applicants need to be ready
to show a wide range of skills simply to complete it. What is more, this process might be leading to
producing good applicants rather than people who will be able to do a good job.

In the past a letter, an application form and a CV were usually enough. You sent them off, together with a
reference which might or might not be followed up on. Today’s applicants, on the other hand, have to be
much better prepared. As well as assessing job opportunities, the need to keep their profile updated
online. A good photo is also useful, probably no the same as the one on Facebook. In addition to
updating the profile, they also need to ensure that it is regulary endorsed by people who have worked
with them, ideally with a short comment.

Having seen a possible job, it is vital to apply through the correct route, often a website, and to carry out
all the steps in good time. Once the shortlist is ready, the next stages Is often an automatically marked
online questionnaire and, depending on those results, an application will move on or stop there.

the whole process.

At the interview, there is an opportunity to express interest in the job but also to respond to a wide range
of questions designed to find out more about the candidates. Besides the standard questions about
achievements and aspirations, there will also be at least one simple but potentially quirky questions which
separates the final candidates. As well as the questions, the might well be a task to carry out. Certain
companies have gone further and asked interviewers to read out poetry or extracts from plays in the hope
that the brings out other aspects of the candidate’s personality. Besides being of dubious values, this is
probably quite intrusive.

I agree that employers need to be absolutely sure about who they recruit, since human resourcces are
one of the major ivestment firms makes. It’s important, therefore , that the process is thorough. On the
other hand, it is imperative that the sysmte finds the best recruits, no necessary jus those who deal well
with the process.
