You 'public image' could deny or land you a dream job.

WHAT YOU SAY AND DO WILL JUDGE BEFORE THE THRONE.

I am glad that you have opened this page and you are reading it! Who knows, it could change your life forever if you take it seriously. In this piece of writing I would like to share with love, compassion and hope that you’ll be inspired and do well.

Influx of youth in this contemporary society are finding it difficult to crack into work place because they are involved into something that obliterate their public image without a clear comprehension of what they are doing to themselves. In this piece I would like to share with you how important is your ‘Public Image’.

One thing that has blinded most of us today is the existence of the notorious social media such as facebook, twitter, whatsAap etc. We feel very much empowered by these networks and our behaviour on them are denying us thing that matters the most in life, for instance job interview. We tend to do things that torment ourselves.  Many people share pictures of themselves naked, drunk, on drugs and other human behaviours. I know, many of us today do not care much and perhaps that is the biggest setback of the current generation and these deeds are agonising our public image.  In fact your corporate image can deny or land you that job you have been dreaming about since you were young.

Your potential employer are looking for someone who would possibly represent the company well to lure more and more investors on board, the same company is looking for someone who loves herself first because there is no way that one could fail to love himself and love the company she is working for. Some companies would require you to provide you social media accounts just to have a glimpse about your social and public status before they employ you so make a good reference about yourself. This also applies to those that are working, your public image could destroy or build the company’s reputation.

Let’s analogise this in this fashion: A company that sells jewellery need a door to door sales person to work for it, they requested you to send your resume/ CV with at least one of your social media account reference. You send your resume with the account that has a picture of half-naked you or being drunk. What do you thing are the possibility of you to be shortlisted for an interview? I have no doubt I would but would you make it? So your corporate image means everything to you and you should do nothing, to extinguish it, instead what you should do is to maintain and look after it.

Make yourself know for positive contribution in your community. It will help you to build your corporate image. People will always have certain perspective about you base on your behaviour within the community so start caring of how people think about you. Let them trust and believe in you. That is how you grow and become a better person. Remember what you say and do will judge you before throne.
