Social Networking

Social networking is probably the most essential and popular way to communicate and build relationship with other people. Social networking platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram connect people from different parts of the world. Some companies also use social media pages to advertise themselves.  

Social networking is a very useful resource for job recruitment. A web page like LinkedIn, allows people to write about their jobs and experiences and find potential employers/employees for matching candidates.  According to Frank Langfitt’s article, Social Networking Technology Boosts Job Recruiting, A recruiter named Maureen Crawford-Hentz said, “Social networking technology is absolutely the best thing to happen to recruiting — ever."

However, social networking can interfere with one’s privacy. Information that people post on social media pages can be hacked. According to Marc Parry’s Who Cares About Facebook Privacy? Students Do article, most Facebook users modified their privacy settings at least once in 2009 and the engagement with privacy setting increased significantly.
