    2. Social media in many industries is an area which people would not hire a specific person for but would trial by lumping the workload of managing the presence with another lesser experianced person. I am working on a blog post to try and explain why this is a bad move but wondered if you had anything you have done in the past (I have had a look round but not seen anything here) or be able to point me to something you know of which would explain what you think would actually make someone qualified to take on this role?

      Thanks
