So, I made a Twitter.
The other day in my pre-internship class,
I was told the statistics of employers who are likely to judge you based off of
your social media. I didn’t write down the percentages, but hey, they were
pretty high. Twitter was one of the top platforms that could likely be checked.
So, I made a Twitter.
Let us be honest though, is 60-ish followers really going to impress them in the communication industry. Maybe, but probably not.
After browsing through the Twittersphere (Side note: ‘Twittersphere’ was actually recognized as a real word by Microsoft Word) I noticed a common theme. It has gotten to the point where I actually distaste the word ‘millennial’ after seeing and hearing it so much. Maybe I should rename this blog My Take on Generation Y.
People left and right are claiming to be “Millennial Influencers”—what does that even mean? Claiming that they know millennials better than other people, by constantly reposting articles about the generation. These “influencers” have 100k+ followers on Twitter, and get an average of 10 likes on each post. You are not an influencer of an entire generation if you are only averaging 10 likes in a generation of billions. I get it. Millennials are trending, it is the new hot topic to talk about. But claiming to be a guru or understanding millennials is like saying men actually understand women.
