Episode Synopsis

Social Media Presence
NEGATIVE WAYS SOCIAL MEDIA CAN AFFECT YOUR JOB SEARCH
TOO MUCH OF A GLIMPSE INTO YOUR PERSONAL LIFE:
Even  if you don’t have anything “bad” on your social profiles, they can give  employers too much of a glimpse into your personal life, and sometimes  it can give them a negative or unfavorable impression about you.
YOU COULD BE CAUGHT STRETCHING THE TRUTH:
People  lie on their resumes and during a job interview. About 88% of  recruiters and HR staff have found some form of misrepresentation on a  candidate’s resume. Social media gives companies a chance to perform a  pseudo fact check and look for inconsistencies.
GIVES A COMPANY A REASON NOT TO HIRE YOU:
Companies  use social media as a way to screen employees. With so many  applications, they are looking for ways to thin out the candidate pool.  Please don’t give them a reason to eliminate you from contention. Keep  your profiles clean and professional.
