In this seminar, we got to talking about all of the different social media networks that are available for us to use (most of us are already using most of them) We discussed the more obvious examples such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Tumblr. These are all sites that most of us already use to try and push our work out there for other people to see, However there were a few examples that I had never heard of such as Linkdin and Secret.
One of the most important things this seminar covered was the importance of online privacy, and it reinforced the fact that if a potential employer can see photos of our personal lives, it can easily convince them to not employ us, regardless of weather or not they like our work! We were told to make sure that all of our security settings were set correctly, and to just in general keep our online artist profiles for our art and that only. This seminar on the whole was really helpful, because there were some sites I had never heard of, and I would consider using them if I dropped another one I am currently using. This session awakened me to the importance of privacy settings on social media, and how it can effect our employability.
