Does Social Media Truly Hinder Career Opportunities? Maybe, but I Doubt the Keg-Stand Scares

People are supposedly worried about privacy issues, maybe older people who have a lot to lose if something dreadful came up in their history, but the ruination of the workforce will not be Twitter, or even Facebook, because trends tell another story, that standards will be lowered to fit the growing majority of workers who simply cannot fit the requirements of a professional job. Privacy doesn't matter to those who have nothing to hide, and for guys like myself, it's apparent that I am not going to get a career, but will probably have to bust my ass the hard way, because of the terrible decisions I've made in my life. Most people realize that they have to follow the system to success like everyone else, but if that is so true, why are outliers always so mulch at the frontline of economic innovation? Granted, most of us don't have a damn clue what we're doing, or what we are truly good at, most of the time we settle, never reaching that true potential, and we are partially to blame for our own misgivings. Some do blame the external force of Life, but I believe that we are all subject to such scrutiny, because there is never enough help for an individual, is there? I care about privacy, I really do, even though I've gone out and joined almost every form of social media imaginable, but lets face it; you have to choose friends to survive, you just need to make sure those friends are what's best for you. I do not care about privacy as much as I care about transparency, which in the net would be a shock, because truth on the Internet is as real as someone actually completing a project on Kickstarter: it rarely happens, and when it does; it's never what it was originally meant to be. Okay, take a moment; because I'm about to spout some truth on you all: if you have Facebook, everyone knows you, they have your address, your phone number, and even your constant location. So isn't that going to force you to become a better human being? I truthfully don't care if my potential employees worship a certain way, listen to certain music, or love Htichock films. I don't even care if they barely have a college degree, the fact they survived public school is a miracle in-itself. What matters most to me is that an employee can work, and can at least pretend to be professional. I barely want to be professional in how I dress, but never in how I act, you have to have some standard, but they can be lowered a bit. Privacy is a fallacy, nothing was ever private, and we all have those skeletons in our closet, I mean most people have done a keg stand, or else it would just be called drunken fools doing dangerous stunts. Everyone and their mother has tried pot, even some of the Mormon Tabernacle have probably been stoned at least once in their lives. Weed is stupid, and showing up high to work is an obvious firing, same for showing up drunk. Yet if you're "high" in an Instagram photo, I'll probably be less apt to fire the employee. The truth is most people do not judge the brand by the people that work there, it already has a bad rap for being a successful business in post-industrial America. I'm look into hire fun-loving people, who aren't afraid to ask stupid questions, but bring some civility to the table. I want innovative people who won't gas out after a project, but I also need then to focus on the task in front of them, and I want trial and error individuals who are not afraid to fail. Failure is a character builder, and I believe it makes the individual hungrier to strive for that goal. Granted, I'd want professionals, but not hard-lined snobs that don't see much past their egotistical self-promoting douchebag mannerisms. I don't care if they are douchebags, just don't act like a douchebag at work. I don't judge people on appearance, I judge them by character, and by how much of them I can take. I'm a pretty level-headed guy, and I'll put up with a lot of B.S., but if you truly irk me to the point I cannot stand you, you're apt to get fired, or not hired at all, but that takes a special kind of disrespect. Truthfully, I don't care about your FB page, I don't have that kind of time to deal with you, but his my business is set up, I don't always have the final say on who I hire, all employees have voting rights within the company, with limited exceptions, of course. However, I don't say my employees work "for" me as much as they work "with" me. This allows for more of a flow, and nobody feels left out. The company is barely off the ground, so I am speaking mostly I. Theory here, but the fact still remains: I don't care about your FB, Twitter, or whatever other nonsense you post, because I've probably posted worst, and if I haven't, then I might take it into account. I already have one other employee, and that because I like his work, and I mostly freelance work out, because it makes life easier for the most part, those who come on board happen to have something unique that other employees in the company find beneficial to the company. So if you're worried about creative measures hindering your chance at a great job, then maybe you should take into fact the idea that a college degree might just be helpful, but in reality, even that isn't going to be a guarantee. Who you know, what you know, it all depends on you. No matter what know this: your privacy is a figment of your imagination, and if you can't get hired by a company because of one measly post on FB, that company is probably run by uptight assholes, and I'm sure if you bash the president, even the positives (albeit very few) of his presidential career, FOX is legally bound to hire you, and Sean Hannity will give you a tongue kiss. A note to add: I think Sean Hannity is one of the biggest douches of our time; a monkey could fill his slot on FOX, and none would be the wiser if the transition. If you're a Hannity fan, and I clearly offended you, I sincerely aplogize, I would say the same thing however for working with Wolf Blitzer, and what a pretentious prick to call himself Wolf Blitzer. I mean that's as real as Malacast Agent, the nerve of that prick, right? Anyway, I want you all to know that your life doesn't end because you've made bad decisions. G. W. Bush was a coke head, drank before sunrise, barely scraped through grad school, and owned the Texas Rangers, the worst offense! He was president, and almost choked on a pretzel! Then he was re-elected! Sonic he can achieve that magnanimous résumé, I'm sure you'll do fine. Yeah, I know his father was president, and one of the richest men in America, but remember, he went in with the highest approval raising of nearly any president. So remember kids: if you a t like a drunken, stupid, alcoholic mess, and then find some sort of superpower above and beyond yourself, (mine's Superman) you too can become president. Don't be a square, be a Bush! Thank you for reading the Malacast Editorial. Follow me on Twitter: twitter.com/mcasteditorial.
