Use Facebook to show your personal side, positively

[joyuntochandr656]

Twitter lets you share relevant business content too, along with your brief commentaries, but it’s a wider net. You should also share links that speak to your interests beyond the office, such as community events, sports teams you follow and hobbies. Even tweet some (tastefully) humorous things. Just steer clear of negative rants, overly-political and religious themes and tweeting too often – especially during working hours.

Post about your travel, family activities, hobbies, and volunteer work. Hiring managers are interested in these things, too. Avoid overly personal details, selfies, and posting too frequently. These rules also apply when you comment on other’s posts. Remember that you can remove posts or comments on your Facebook page that are edgy. Always think: “What could a hiring manager infer from what’s on my page?” and act accordingly.

3. Keep a Common Look and Feel
You’ll look more polished and organized if your social media profiles have a bahamas phone number list common look to them. For LinkedIn and Twitter, for example, use the same background/header photo. For all three platforms, use the same professional headshot as your profile photo. Your contact email should be consistent across social media, too, as should your name, in case you sometimes use a nickname.

Especially if you are in an active job search, keep the content you share fresh, and always check your grammar and spelling, even in informal posts. These things matter to a recruiter trying to learn more about you. Converse regularly with others in your industry niche through LinkedIn and Facebook groups, and with the people and organizations you follow on Twitter. This shows you’re engaged in your work and gives you the chance to demonstrate your knowledge of trending subjects.

While it’s important to show you’re using social media regularly to keep in touch with your network and learn new things, you shouldn’t go overboard. Share 20 tweets a day and you’ll probably come across to a recruiter as a person who’s wasting time at work or has no life outside the office. Create a system where you spend a short, concentrated amount of time each day or every other day updating your social media pages, and you’ll be more efficient. Then, devote the rest of your job-search time to other useful tactics.
