Pros and con of social media
Social media is an important tool today and is used for various purposes. Several companies utilize social media for marketing and spreading awareness. With the help of social media, it is possible to find employees and a new job for yourself. Finding new friends is easier and the threshold to get to know people lowers.
Unpleasant things also appear on social media. Companies are slandered for mistakes, unpleasant events spread quickly. Reputation can be lost quickly on social media. It brings people together and reduces face-to-face contact.

I would like to use more social media in my own work, and with the help of the course I got more tips for working life about using social media.
