Social networking sites are very useful to me. They help me keep track with friends and keep tabs on what people are doing. However, I can also use them in a professional manner. For example, 'Linked in' is considered the Facebook for professionals, allowing you to create a much more formal profile for employers to see. Other social networks allow content to be uploaded. I already use Youtube to upload all the videos I create personally and at college, I also use Blogger to post my college work and Tumblr to post my own personal art. I have a Twitter account, letting me easily keep up to date with people I follow, it is really easy to follow someone I admire and look up to.
Facebook does not have to be just for my friends, I could also us it to get in touch with more professional people. I would have to make sure my Facebook stays clean and formal, however. I wouldn't want things I say to my friends visible to people I want to work with!
I would have to make sure to make full use of social networking sites to give myslef the best chance of getting a job in the industry.
