📰 This article is about the digital platforms' share of accountability for damages caused to their users. Speaking of which, we also should recognize our share of accountability for our online conduct, isn't that right? We all have a duty to double-check any information before forwarding it. The least we should do is ask ourselves: - has this information been verified by the authorities? - is this information of public interest? - what are the possible impacts of disseminating this information? - does this information have the potential to offend someone's honor? Of course, each case must be analyzed individually. But when in doubt, be cautious. 🔗 Available at: https://lnkd.in/dtWucxUd

Interesting networking approach: “To help with that, Spish has developed a networking process that consists of identifying and then contacting three kinds of contacts: information givers, door openers, and decision makers. Information givers are people who can tell you about the market, companies, and hiring trends; they can help you get smart and get over your fear of networking. Door openers are typically people you’ve worked with in the past. They’re responsive, and because they know you and your work style, they’re willing to vouch for you and can introduce you to the decision makers. If you’d like to use this process, the best way to start is by first making a list of all your employers, clients, and customers, and then by writing down the names of the people you met in those roles. You might find you easily come up with 100 names. No matter what approach you use to organizing, targeting, and segmenting your search, you’ll always need to start by generating a long list of people you’ve worked with and then methodically following a system for reaching out to them. Because it’s a learning process, you can’t plan it all out in advance; you’re better off adopting a “snowball” approach” in which you ask each contact who else you should meet. This is especially true if you’re looking in markets that are unfamiliar to you. In that case, you’ll need to network in what Spish calls “the valleys below the clouds.” There are lots of opportunities in these valleys, but they unfamiliar and require exploration. If you don’t explore them, you limit your options and can hurt your career growth. It’s a high-cost, high-yield game, but it pays off. Spish has found that once you’ve reached out to 50 or more contacts on your list, the network will start to reach out to you, at which point you can let the process carry you forward.”
