Here are a few things I am reading before school!

• better business bureau warns of facebook scam

“The Better Business Bureau is warning Facebook users about a new scam that is spreading on the social networking website. This scam uses “clickjacking” to access a user’s email address book and spread spam emails.”

• You’d never guess who is REALLY on social media?

“Professionals from the UAE are among the most active users of social and professional networking sites like Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter, according to the results of a recent global survey from worldwide staffing leader Robert Half. Despite this high usage rate among professionals in the UAE, however, respondents indicated that companies in the UAE are more liable to put restrictions on the use of social media sites or forbid their use altogether.”

• the social BIRD gets the WORM and the JOB,too!

“In today’s world of career hunting, the phrase “It’s not what you know – it’s who you know,” is becoming all the more applicable. Networking, whether online or local, has evolved as one of the most important areas of the professional job search.”
