Your Selfie Obsession Could Cost You Your Job


NEW YORK: According to a study, users who click too many 'selfies' not only reflect narcissistic traits but also demonstrate a lack of self-control to employers.

"The rise in selfie taking could lead to the more regular snappers losing out on jobs," says the study reported by MailOnline.

"In a career sense, selfies can really impact your brand," career coach Hallie Crawford was quoted as saying.

According to a study, users who click too many 'selfies' not only reflect narcissistic traits but also demonstrate a lack of self-control to employers.

The study, done by researchers at the University of Georgia, suggested that selfies are motivated by three factors - self-absorption, art or social connection.

"Regular selfie takers may be more narcissistic than their photo-shy friends," said Keith Campbell, psychology professor at the University of Georgia in the US.
