In these modern days, potential employers are using all manner of investigation to ensure that they get to the bottom of an applicant’s personality. You should hence be very cautious on the activities you are doing on social media. When I need my papers for example it’s not prudent to advertise for the best supplier on social media because it might be mistaken to be a lazy way of earning your degree.
To be on the safe side you should make your accounts as professional as you are in person. Starting with the headshot, all your accounts should have an image that represents you as presentable, serious and informed. Linked in for example is a place where you will virtually meet many professional in search of good candidates to bring onboard. The image is one thing and the information that the account holds is another. Let it show the experience you have in relation to your industry.
Facebook on the other hand should reflect your positive image too. It’s a platform that most people use for entertainment and hooking up, but still the employers will want to see your life through the account. It’s good to therefore post positive content and photos that won’t raise an eyebrow at the time of your interview.
