Social media presence
Today’s job-seekers have more to
take into account than those of the
past. Social media and your social
presence can greatly benefit you by
showing your employer who you are
before you even meet them. Social
media can help you define your brand
and can show employers that brand.
Social media on a résumé
You can meet a person and see
what they are like and who they are
before even seeing them in person.
Social media is a double-edge sword
that way, and can hurt you if you are
posting material that wouldn’t be
considered very professional.
But today, hiring managers use
social media to search you online,
listing the links for them on your
résumé can make you seem proactive
and inviting them to do so.
Listing your links can encourage you
to clean up any unprofessional posts
you may have on your page.
What social media to include
Before you start adding every social
you have to your résumé, it’s important
to think of the most important sites
that would help define your brand.
LinkedIn is a platform for
professionals to post and share
content with others. So many hiring
managers use LinkedIn to reach
out to other hiring managers and
professionals in their area. Creating a
brand on LinkedIn can get you above
the competition and show hiring
managers who you are before even
looking at your résumé.
Twitter is another great platform
that can help you define your social
brand to hiring managers. Twitter is a
great platform to add to your résumé
because you can tweet about and
share stories or trends in your industry.
Include your Twitter profile if you are
one that consistently shares and
tweets about your industry.
Leave your Twitter out if you tweet
about sports or anything that won’t
show employers your personal brand.
Other social media platforms such
as Facebook, Instagram and YouTube
are all other platforms you can include
ONLY if you use the platforms to
showcase your skills and personal
brand.

Clean up your online presence
Whether or not you decide to
include your social media sites on your
résumé, it’s always a good idea to
clean up your online presence. Hiring
managers will Google your name for a
couple of reasons. First reason, they
will want to see if they can get a feel
for what kind of person you are and
secondly, it will give them peace of
mind. They’ll check to make sure you
aren’t posting controversial threads or
pictures on your social media that will
put a negative image on their company
if they were to hire you.
Social media today is a huge part
of our lives and careers. For some,
social media can determine whether
they get and retain their jobs. It’s
important to build a good online brand
to give hiring managers a good first
impression of you.
