right. hullo, hullo.
this is the third week of school and there’s supposed to be 3 posts already in this blog. i’m lagging behind the class! well, half of it at least, according to ms kwa.
and right this moment, the whole class is laughing at gary’s tweet: “Everybody! Tweetdeck is available for iphones #nct”
just because everyone knew that ages ago.
myself, i’m not very different from mr tan. i didn’t have a blog or a twitter account until NCT, i don’t have a tweetdeck and even on facebook i don’t sign in daily. <insert the mother of all gasps here> you must think i live under a rock.
thing is, i’ve never wanted anything to do with social media. it seems like a very public and very scary place. the whole world knows what you’re doing all the time and you’ve got to be really careful with your words because whatever you say cannot be fully retracted.
but i think an important lesson to take away from 3 weeks of NCT is, as emphasised time and again by ms kwa, the power of personal branding. we as graduates-to-be should start building a credible and unscandalous (if that’s the word for it) online image because our employers can and probably will google us the moment they read our cover letters. maybe in the future our facebook profiles will be just as important as our resumes.
that is the main reason why i sat up and took notice of the importance of social media. it is really a powerful tool that, if harnessed properly, can be massively beneficial for ourselves.
so i guess it’s time to come out of my shell.
and tweet.
now.. how do i tag this post?
hi, i like the title of this entry. very arctic monkeys.
anyway dear almost-luddite, i wish you all the best in coming out of your shell fully.
I agree that you are a suaku. Welcome to the internet.
