Re: A professional question...
Confucius, I think there are three ways of looking at this.......
1) It's not a good idea 2) I wouldn't do it 3) Don't even think about it Facebook is a spare-time hobby (as someone else said), and it would seriously diminish your professional external image in the eyes of most people who matter. It's like having a 'hotmail' e-mail address - it's something you may use (if you insist) to keep in touch with people all over the world, but has a seriously negative professional image. Professionally, do not touch Facebook with a disinfected barge pole. |

I'm suspicious... A serious question from Confu????
Well, I do have a few "professional" friends in my fb list, as well as some of my students.... You can always adjust your privacy settings to control who gets to see what. In general, i think it's best to maintain a fairly "vanilla" flavored page. So don't any of you start writing smut on my wall!!!!! |

At a previous job, I cancelled the 'dress down' days because staff were clearly treating it like casually wandering in to the office on their day off. And the female staff were treating it like a beachwear fashion parade...... actually I still miss that aspect, but you get my drift....... The stats were overwhelming - results were anything up to 30 pct poorer on dress down days. Sorted that out........ ....... but I'm happy to have lunch with you in a casual fashion if it makes you happy. |
