Week 12- Creating a Professional Web Presence

This week in class we were required to create a professional web presence project. This assignment is useful, because it gives you the opportunity to have an online resume. In this Web 2.0 world that we live in, it is important that information is available online. When applying for a job, you can email them a link to yoor online project, instead of a boring word file. This gives them the opportunity to look at your personal life as well, and more about you. You can also have a portfolio of some of the work that you have created. Here is a link to mine!
How does this relate to PR?
Public relations is merging into a social media world. When you go for a job interview, it is common for the person to ask you to pull up your Facebook page. What you post online can be damaging to your career, so you should always be careful. The article below discusses how dangerous Facebook can be. Facebook can get you fired!
