CAREER DAMAGING SOCIAL MEDIA MISTAKES

CAREER DAMAGING SOCIAL MEDIA MISTAKES

Social media has always been that platform where you could express your thoughts and relate with like minded people. This could create new networking for professionals or new career opportunities. But one wrong step, and it could be offensive enough to disturb your career and personality. Below given are some points that one should keep in mind while exercising your freedom of expression in social media.

1. Complaining about your boss:

 Ranting about your dissatisfaction with the boss or job on online platform is a trouble you would not want yourself to be associated with. However private you make your posts, this is a clear description of your attitude and could affect you sooner or later.

2. Sharing your new job offer:

 A job offer made to you is always confidential and taking it to social media might highlight how unreliable you are. This might even result in revoking any future offers.

3. Plagiarizing:

Plagiarism is clear indication of how incapable you are of producing one's own content let alone acknowledging the use of someone's intellectual property. This black mark stays along with you and has the potential to damage your career.

4. Use of texting language:

The practice of resorting to text language might get you straight into the lazy list and could damage your employment chances. Use of proper spellings and grammar in your social media profiles, like Facebook and LinkedIn could reflect your professionalism and literacy.

5. Crude comments:

 The comments that you make that might have the potential to inflict offence and hatred on others might be viewed as a negative mark on your name. It is better to stay out of controversial comments which might be factors of judging your personality while the employee performs background checks on you.

6. Insulting customers:

 Similar to indulging in complaining about your boss, mocking or complaining about your customers is equally bad. It is your duty to respect the differences in needs and behaviours of your customer.

7. Bragging about alcohol use:

 Social gatherings might want get you to clink the glass but bragging of these practices on your social platforms can have you in a bad place, if you work in respectable fields like teaching or research. You represent your company or institution and might put them in a bad position by doing so.

8. Clear display of drug use:

It is advisable that you do not resort to posting anything like legalization of drug usage, even if you personally support the notion. Companies nowadays have drug use screenings and you might end up putting yourself at a risky position.

Keeping these points in mind, be wise about what you post and express online.

PROGRESS IN YOUR CAREER - TIPS AND TRICKS

This requires one to evaluate one's career path and reconsider on taking up alternate paths, if that suits one better. The below given tips help one achieve one's career goals.

1. Establish connections with your colleagues:

Being a people person is something that would help you in establishing connections with your colleagues. Eating your lunch in a public area, talking to everyone and leaving the office door open are some simple things that could leave good impression on others.

Delhi to Vrindavan Mathura Bharatpur Agra Delhi Trip in 3 days

Hi

As you all know, I am an avid budget traveler. It has been in my mind since long to help fellow travelers to get best deals so here I go after long

As I hate taking pictures, blog would be only content :)

Starting Delhi: Journey

There are 2 broad road routes ( Delhi to Agra via old faridabad -palwal road and expressway).  Remember , not to take KMP expressway if you are starting from Delhi/NCR. it is waste . You travel too much extra. If you are coming from manesar and beyond ( from jaipur ) or Kundli and beyond ( towards Punjab), then you take . But going back is waste
Mathura is very far from expressway so expressway is good only if you plan to go to Agra straight from Delhi
else best is old Delhi faridabad palwal mathura vrindavan agra road.

Day 1 : if you start even by 7-8 am

a. First destination from Delhi would be Vrindavan. Would take you about 3-4 hrs max. Check in into of the modern Dharamshalas.  they are like hotels but not hotels. So you would get clean room, attached bathroom with geysers etc and blankets. but you need to carry washroom stuff like towels , toiletries etc .. Room rent is 800 rs per day and 3 beds are there . They don't mind even if 5 people are in one room. They also give food on meal system basis ( Bfast usually at 60 bucks per head, lunch and dinner at 100 with unlimited veg food).. Delhi Dham is one such place and 2-3 others close by. All offering same stuff

I usually stay in Delhi Dham. 

You can start roaming around . Banke Bihari temple, Iskcon are popular . Prem mandir really looks nice under lights and you can see other places as per your choice. :Late evening ( may be after dinner), you cna go for Giriraj parikrama or Vrindavan Parakiram itself . This would end your day 1


Day 2 :

Start after Bfast around 9 and go to bharatpur. You would first reach mathura ( you may see Krishna Janmabhoomi if u wish ) and then mathura bharatpur road about 30KM. Total it would not take you more than 1 hr adn you shall be comfortably reaching bharatpur by 10-11.

Enjoy Bharatpur bird sanctuary. 

Note: There are cycles available on rent ( rs 50 per person per bicycle for 4 hrs). take that if you can still drive cycle . Cycle rickshaws are available at rs 250/hr for 2 people. Essentially no vehicle can go so third option is walking . After about 3 KM is Kaladeo temple and  a small destination kind of. Sanctuary goes further from there also but generally 95% people get tired reaching there. So going from gate to kaladeo temple and back enjoying bird views is around 4 hrs affair

Not much food available inside and you can carry whatever you wish . So if you wish to carry fruits, snacks no problems 

Best if you are out by 2-3 and take lunch in one of highway dhabas


From Bharatpur to Agra is again 35 KM and fatehpur sikri is right on this road. So no diversion at all , actually it id 1 KM from hghway. So if you reach Fatehpur sikri by 4, you can enjoy till 5.30-6 . Then you head towards Agra

Reach Agra, check in your hotel and you may got for any shopping of leather goods if you wish . Enjoy dinner and sleep



Day  3:

Tajmahal opens at 8 AM itself so you can start early as soon as you finish Bf'ast. Visit Tajmahal, Agra fort, Akbar tomb , Dyalbagh or any other stuff. take lunch in between

By evening snacks you may leave Agra around 6 oclock 

You may take expressway now or Agra- Delhi old highway ( which is great now ) depending upon location of your home in NCR . SO Noida people should take expressway , rest may take other highway. You shall be back easily by 9 PM

Prepare for next morning kids school or office 

Hope you get benefit for this
