At Quirk, we are always hiring, so I have scoured
over a 100 CV's in the last few months and have come across some ridiculous
shit (some of which is documented below). Here are some points to consider (red
flags) when hiring a social media community manager :
1) Pinterest boards dedicated to pictures of
roadkill
2) Spamming 'Celebrities' with tweets, hoping
for a retweet, mention or a block (A community manager actually told me
that she gets a kick out of trolling celebs in the hopes of getting blocked -
why would you tell a potential employer this?)
3) Has the words 'social media guru' in their
bio
4) Their Twitter avatar is an egg
5) They have their own fan page on Facebook
(Usually with less than 5 likes from non-family members and colleagues who were
guilted into liking their page)
What are some of the red-flags you picked up?
Spelling, death threats, twirettes, No idea what a hashtag is? Leave a comment
and let me know.
