Should I includesocial media in my resume?
When appropriate, you can include a link to your LinkedIn profile. If anything, the hiring manager will appreciate the fact you’ve saved them a couple of seconds to look you up. When it comes to other social media, these are not as relevant as LinkedIn and you can leave them out. If you have a personal website, you can add as many links as you like, since that’s exactly what the website is for.
Should I review my socialmedia profiles before applying for a job?
Absolutely! The carefree college days are over—real life begins. You don’t need those drunk party photos all around your social media. Inappropriate social media content can actually ruin your reputation. Good as those times were, don’t hesitate to remove any evidence of your less responsible, younger self. It’ll be worth it, you’ll see.
