I have recently been trying to figure out how good it really is to mix work life and social life...social media is obviously a huge issue with joining the both of these, as potential employers and my peers potential employers will be looking to see exactly who we are. The reality is though, that if we remain ourselves with one profile and mix all aspects of our life, these people see those night out photographs and that glass of wine in your hand, these images are a collection of our lives since we set our profiles up, and realistically there being a night out photo a week doesn't look good collectively. But it also being a consumer's space is unfair for us to have to feel like we need to monitor our own profile as if it were a brand, because surely these people have beer per week too!?
On the other hand we create two profiles, but even when we are searched, they will still find two and wonder what we are trying to hide and whether we are pushing to be "too good" in their eyes, because they may no longer feel as though they are taking a sly look into our life; but it may look like we have designed ourselves around them for their acceptance? I currently have one facebook and one twitter account, but I already feel guilty about going out once a week incase you appear to be an unreliable asset as it would be undoubtably the Facebook page which is tapped into! Please tell me what your view is :)
