Social Media Presence

People tend to underestimate the importance of social media presence in a professional setting. Most companies will check applicants’ social media profiles to see who they are potentially hiring. As such, people need to be mindful of what they put on their profiles and how it could reflect on them. Stay away from emotionally charged subjects such as politics and religion. Post opinions nonaggressively and be open to discussion about those opinions. Do not fool yourself into believing that social media has no impact on your career, it could make the difference between a job offer and unemployment.
