Applying for a Job? Make Sure Your Social Media Accounts are Clean

Hiring companies no longer offer jobs to candidates based on their resume or CV alone. Hiring managers are now taking it one step further and checking out social media profiles to get to know you better.

Social media can be a double-edged sword when used as a tool for company hiring, as it can either boost or impede on your chances of landing that dream job. By checking your ability to communicate and engage in positive conversation with others, a company can get to know you pretty well.

So make sure whatever you post to your social media profiles will help, not hurt, your chances of landing that job!
