More and more employers are turning to Social Media accounts (and not your CV) when it comes to finding out more about their perspective employee. A surprising amount of companies will deny someone a job, too, if they find something they don’t like or agree with on your page, which seems pretty unfair on you; especially if you don’t have the chance to defend yourself!
‘What? That photo of me in the BBQ Rib eating competition?! It was… for charity!’
It’s becoming ever more important to clean up your social media profiles for this exact reason. Do you want to miss out on your dream job simply because you forgot to de-tag the drunken photos from your last night out? Protect yourself from snoopy employers as soon as possible so you can relax in interviews; knowing they’ll find nothing but your wonderful (industry related) statuses, your (frequent) charity work and those glorious (cultured) holidays.
