  3. How does the lack of an “online presence” affect your employment opportunities in today’s world?

  4. Completed Short Answer • Having an “online presence” in 2013 has the ability to affect your employment opportunities in one of two ways. Due to the prolific use of social networking sites, not having an online presence may be disturbing to some employers and a relief to others. • The Daily Mail reported that people who do not use Facebook accounts may be seen as “suspicious…abnormal…, or even dangerous.” If prospective employees are seen this way, they are considered unhireable, according to some. According to David Eichle, if a potential employee is under 50 without a Facebook account, I may assume that“potential employees may not be savvy enough to know other things.” • However, Paul Thompson believes that not having a Facebook profile is “wonderful.” Employees may be considered as“more serious individuals.” Also, an online presence may affect how employers view your character due to postings and comments. Many prospective employers believe your personality should be locked behind privacy settings. • An online presence should be taken seriously as employers are checking you out, especially the older you get. as it may have serious consequences to your ability to find a job in the future.
