*“Employers want to hire workers who can adapt to the changing technologies used in business. If they cannot find anything about you online, it could indicate that you are clueless about these emerging technologies or tentative to learn them."*

We do have to be careful what we post on social media, however social media had a hand in getting Trump elected. He benefits from it ( a lot of the time) now!

Great article. I think there are some generational issues as well that come into play. I have had interviews were they have your full social media profile, but these people do not do social media and are critical of minor issues like holding a beer at the lake with friends, like they never had a beer in their life. I am no longer in that corporate life and enjoy it much better without having to completely censor my facebook. That said, I keep it business casual on the facebook.

Great Post
Thank you for sharing

I don't even mess with Social Media.  Only STEEM...but I don't consider STEEM the same as Facebook.  Its more of a connection platform to find research tools and resources from which to gather insight.

It's like common fucking sense. Back in 2009 when I was outta work, people would start tagging me on Fakebook & shit posting stupid pics...I squashed that shit real fast & put all my privacy to the max. To this day I only use it for business because I've seen people lose jobs, not get jobs, destroy marriages & relationships...you name it that place is toxic.

This reminds me of local fellow Private Investigators.  One wanted to meet to discuss possible work together.  I asked him to review my online content beforehand, so that neither of us would be wasting our time.  He never contacted me again.

A lot of people do not like it that I am very public about my defense of liberty.  If my defense of liberty bothers you, I don't want to work with you anyway.  Why would I?  This concept goes both ways in other words.

I am not going to hide what I'm passionate about to get a different hamster wheel (job).  It would be great to work with fellow liberty lovers too, not for people who have the opposite beliefs.  This was one of the primary reasons I came up with the Liberty Professionals concept.

The goal was to create a place where employers and employees with similar life long objectives could get together.  It would be like LinkedIn but for liberty lovers.  The idea never really took off, but I still stand by it being a good one. 

Thanks for all you do, @zer0hedge to further the cause.  I know you're in the fight, and I respect and appreciate it!

I am only just getting started on being more into news related articles, but I must say this was a great, well written post. Thank you for sharing you definitely have another follower @zer0hedge

This is like something out of the Circle by D. Eggers. If you haven't read it, it is the new 1984/Brave New World for the Millennial generation - or the part of it that reads at least. 

 I can't believe some employers think not being on social media is a negative thing, they must be brainwashed social media acolytes or surveillance control freaks. Regardless, you're better off not working for them. 

Just look at the CNN meme-tastrophe. CNN knew full well that threatening to doxx a meme creator was effective, primarily because it has participated in riling up a load of violence-advocating anti-free speech zealots. Putting out his name would have been the equivalent of putting out a contract on his/her life.

If you are one of those not on social media and your employer asks why you aren't on social media, perhaps the best answer would be "I am not interested in using my real name or other identifiers on social media given the persecutory atmosphere regarding free speech and non-conformism."

I don't have a social media account associated with my name and I wont. The idea that it indicates that I don't know new tech is laughable and idiciative of the superfical and childlike  mentalities of gen y and millenial types that are found in hr. I have seen this in engineering practice time and time again.

Hr will be replaced because of its ineffectiveness to pick the right candidate. Whats on paper is not enough and neither is being impressed by a self promoter. Perhaps eth and smart contract software will end the need for hr.

When I was hired by my engineering firm i was interviewed by the boss.

fine

i wont get job if i am not on Steemit ? https://media.giphy.com/media/l0HlRnAWXxn0MhKLK/giphy.gif
