I chose this lesson as I believe that those were interesting exercises, especially number 2, since it not only involved some good listening skills but also provided vocabulary about common skills and requirements for a job. For instance, in the interview Paul discussed his  interests, achievements , qualifications and many others.

I would argue that this info from the text is absolutely  correct since social media profiles can show off your skills, give employers a peek into your personality, and land you a job.
