So, last Saturday we had our hangout as usual, and it was just so much fun we did not want it to end. We are currently on the second topic for this week which is “UNEXPECTED PLACES AND PEOPLE”.

But before we proceed with the details of the topic, let us take a look at the winners of the last topic which was “YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA LIFE”.

This topic was geared toward each member of the community sharing with us their opinions on individuals having to share their social media handles with their employers. For some, it’s seen as an invasion of privacy while for others it’s simply something that companies have to do to protect their image.

We got to see the different ways social media could make or mar people, and if not handled properly, it could make matters worse long before making them better. In the end, employers will have to do what works best for themselves.

For this topic, we went through every entry post, and that is every post with the #hl-exclusive & #hl-w149e1 tag. And with the number of wonderful posts out there it was quite difficult to make a selection. But eventually, we did just that. And so, the posts that will be featured not just for their exceptional content, but also for their level of engagement with other authors will be listed below.

Featured Contents

PLEASE HIRE ME BY MY EXPERIENCE AND SKILLS by @gwajnberg

This author told us that unless the social media handle helps us to do our jobs, or unless it affects the job in some way, then it should be of no concern to the employers. It’s our private life and as such shouldn’t be a yardstick through which an applicant can be hired. If this is followed, then people just might learn to allow for privacy more..

SOCIAL MEDIA MASK by @justfavour

For this author, he sees it as a complex issue. Social media is different for everyone and as such, it tells different stories about each individual. Judging applicants based on their social media persona might only backfire in the end. Instead, employers should be tutored on the importance of online etiquette and also made to know the dangers of doing anything that would put the company in a negative light..

SOCIAL MEDIA AND PROFESSIONAL BOUNDARIES: NAVIGATING RISKS AND RELATIONSHIPS @aiuna

For this author, she’s of the opinion that one needs to detach oneself from the need to post too much about oneself online. This is because if this is allowed to go on unabated, it will only be a matter of time before they post something that may come back to haunt them. When everyone is being careful with what they post, when a boss or a client stumbles upon their handle, they won’t find anything incriminating.

All of the above contents were supported by our official curation account lazy-panda with an extra amount. The first 3 authors will receive 100 ECENCY Points [ Sponsored By Ecency Team (@melinda010100) ] and 1 $PANDAMINER each as a reward next Monday. These posts were selected because of their special attention to detail and how they followed the topic. There were a lot of good ones out there, but we just could not pick them all.

But then, we have some honorable mentions which are listed below:
