Following reports that 16 year old Kimberley Swann was sacked from her job for saying that it was boring on her Facebook page, Greta Hill-Lyons, Director of Glasgow-based multimedia company The Hirer has advised Kimberley and other jobseekers to separate their personal from their public life online.
Ms Hill-Lyons said, ìIt still amazes me when people donít separate their personal and public lives online. You do it in every other aspect of your life. Iím betting the way you speak to your mother is different from the way you chat to your mates on Bebo or the way you address your boss!
ìOf course, if youíre smart then youíll have your networking sites locked so only a favoured few can read it. But, if you are even smarter, you'll get on The Hirer career network too so that you can start talking work with like-minded people and creating opportunities for yourself and your career.î
The Hirer career network is a platform that keeps jobseekersí personal and public life separate and gives jobseekers the opportunity to show their public face to future bosses.
