Social media & career development
Can social media help advance your career development or job search?
A professional social media presence is vital for any person currently employed or looking for new opportunities. Being visible and quickly found by potential employers is essential.
Accept the fact that hiring managers and recruiters now do 90% of their initial sourcing of candidates via social media...it is TOO BIG TO IGNORE. This applies equally if you are in the workforce or currently searching for a new role.
So clean up your Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn profiles today or it could destroy your career prospects. It may not only be a potential employer that looks at your social media profiles to obtain a "quick snapshot" of you...think about applying for a car or home loan, renting etc.!
Some people may say that this does not apply to them as they don't have a social media presence. Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!
If you cannot easily be located online an employer or recruiter may disregard your application because they cannot quickly validate your background, or worse still think that you are out of touch with technology.
If you are serious about advancing your career YOU MUST establish your social media profiles immediately.
There is no avoiding social media if you want to be a strong contender for that next promotion or a new job.
