There are more than 955 million Facebook users, and it could hurt you to not be one of them.

Facebook has become an essential part of everyday life for nearly one billion users worldwide, and for employers it is now considered standard practice to screen a potential’s candidate’s online profile before extending an invitation to an interview. Approximately 90 percent of recruiters check out candidates online profiles.
Your online footprint is obviously something that should be maintained and kept up, but what happens if you have no online presence whatsoever? Today having Facebook is considered normal, while opting out is considered abnormal.

Recent trends find that according to some psychiatrists and employers not having a Facebook profile is considered suspicious. As social media becomes a routine aspect of everyday life, do you think it is abnormal for people (especially the younger generation) to opt out?
