A Word from the Wise

Dr. Spaulding pointed out to me that Professor Potter, who I blogged about a month or so ago, posted a bit of advice for students who are finish up with finals and about to graduate from college. As I said before, Professor Potter has decades of experience in the field of PR and Journalism so when he offers advice, it should not be taken lightly. In his bog, he advises:


Now it’s time to clean up the Facebook pages (especially the photos), get some businesslike clothing, practice speaking in complete, coherent sentences (and writing them, too), and hit the job search circuit.

Now that we are making the transformation from college students to college graduates, some things in our lives will need to change. One of them being the image we portray about ourselves through Facebook and MySpace. Potential employers will do some "Facebook stalking" of their own to find out if the front you put on during an interview is the real you or not. So, take some advice from the wise, and clean up those pages!
