Me and My Social Media Experiences

Social media is a term that is frequently used today. I think it’s simple to share knowledge, ideas, and other forms of expression through virtual networks. I enjoy using various social media platforms in accordance with my needs. I have been actively using social media since I was 18 years old. I would like to use LinkedIn for my professional use and WhatsApp for my personal use.

I enjoy travelling. I prefer to use my travel-related WhatsApp status. On the other side, adding captions and using travel quotations brighten our day. It’s an easy-to-use function. However, WhatsApp is one of my favorite’s social media platforms and I use it frequently since it allows me to make voice and video conversations to my faraway family members and friends. Additionally, it offers me the option of secure messaging. I travelled to Vancouver, British Columbia on January 23, 2023 to see my friends and family. We had a terrific vacation, thoroughly enjoying ourselves, and explored several significant locations there. I used to upload pictures of various spots in the Vancouver region on Instagram and WhatsApp statuses so that my friends and family in Regina and India could see the beauty of Vancouver, British Columbia. This allowed me to feel connected to them and help them understand how much I missed them.

On the other side, I was continuously updating my WhatsApp status about exploring various locations of Vancouver. As a result, even some of my friends who are closest to me do not use WhatsApp, I am unable to show them or share my images. However, WhatsApp can work with installed WhatsApp and contact numbers. On the other side, this software may only be used with an internet connection. I was unable to video contact my dad to share and see the view of several sights in Vancouver due to a network issue.

In terms of my professional life, I often choose to utilize LinkedIn to look for new employment, connect with coworkers and hiring managers. I didn’t have a job when I first arrived in Canada. At that time, one of my friends introduced me to LinkedIn, the most popular professional network in the world. This social networking site gives me up-to-date details on numerous job types in various sectors along with a job description. I also desired a position working with children. I fill out my LinkedIn profile with information on my contact details, educational background, work history, and talents. After that, LinkedIn connected my profile with numerous recruiting companies and kept me updated on various early childhood educator-related job openings. Finally, I received a notification from YMCA, Regina regarding an interview via this official social media channel. My first job in Regina seems to have been made possible by this professional network. On the other hand, it gives me the chance to discover how to apply for jobs and learn how to locate a job.

But on the other hand, it has been quite difficult for me to use LinkedIn to locate work in Regina. I started receiving spam mails from various websites as soon as I created my LinkedIn profile. They never stop presenting me with pricey premium account plans. I purchased these account plans at the time despite not knowing about these plans. After then, it was free, my friend informed me, and I immediately felt terrible. However, setting up a LinkedIn profile takes too much time. One is incapable to achieve useful something if they are unaware of the site.

Consequently, social networking is very helpful to me in both my personal and professional lives. I enjoy spending time on various social media platforms learning new stuff.
