Facebook Group: Meeting 1

Submitted by stcrawfo on Tue, 10/07/2008 - 23:10

Our group met at the Union on Monday, October 6 at 1:30. All members of the group were there: Sam, Suranjani, Curtis, and Christine. The goal of the meeting was to discuss about our topic and possibly delegate who would be in charge of different parts of the memo. We discussed some of the things Facebook users can do to lower the possibility of their professional reputation being ruined. Some of the things users can do are limit the information they provide on their Facebook profile, limit the friends that you have on your account, do not save your password to your Facebook account, and you could possibly deactivate your Facebook account during your job search. At the meeting we decided that Suranjani would come up with reasons why people should follow our advice. Curtis and Christine researched for some specific instances were Facebook ruined chances for people to get possible jobs. I was given the task to write the blog. At the next meeting our plans are to work on the structure of the memo and possibly delegate different sections of the memo out to different group members. Here are some of the persuasive reasons Suranjani came up with and also some of the resources that Curtis and Christine found.
