I noticed this year that there are quite a few organizations who are kind of using social media in a rather fishy way. Basically, they advertise some kind of opportunity such as a potential job where they claim their way to find the best candidate is to see who promotes them the most online. Imagine going to a store with a help wanted sign and as a pre-requisite they ask you to promote the company for a month just for the opportunity to work for them.<\/p>\n
Maybe I am too skeptical, but this just seems like a sneaky way for a business to take advantage of people to get free advertisement. In these kinds of scenarios I think it\u2019s best if the companies compensate you upfront for your efforts as there are simply too many who will try and exploit those who are looking for an opportunity. <\/p>\n
Some other variations I have noticed are for phone apps where the organization mentions that everyone must install its app as a pre-requisite to even be consider for some kind of position. Be skeptical I say.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
