Use social media responsibly because it is powerful – Claudia Lumor

Claudia Lumor, the founder of Glitz Africa, has advised young people to be cautious when using social media.

Social media, according to the UN Ambassador, is a highly potent weapon that can create or break a person's reputation and personality.

Madam Lumor also mentioned that, in recent years, firms have been using the content of applicants on social media to determine their hiring decisions.

She explained that if they discover that your beliefs do not align with their brand, they may dismiss you, even if you have the best profile or CV for the job or position.

"Every firm does this before they see your CV." I cast for major corporations, the United Nations, and other organizations.

"The first place we go when we see your profile is your social media." So, what will I see when I visit your website? If you claim to desire to have an impact on women.

"If you claim you want to go into business for yourself. "What I see on your CV should match what I see on social media," she remarked on Wednesday.

As a result, the businesswoman advised the Sisterhood Women Empowerment Programme participants to use it to their advantage rather than distributing irrelevant stuff.

"I don't want to see you dipping and dabbing when you say you want to be my accountant." That is the world we live in, so make sure you take advantage of social media. "It is very powerful," she said, "but use it to your advantage, use it to strengthen what you want to do."
