Going about seeking for a job was not as easy before as it is now with technology. Before, job hunting requested that the seeker moves up, down and around town others even travelled distances to get on. Today with the internet and accessibility to job offering sites and social media platforms where opportunities are shared, it makes it easier for job seekers.
Social media sites are greatly used by individuals and some of the applications demand that your social media handles are requested. There are some questions many don't ask when they apply and never get a reply; Have you ever wondered why you miss out on certain opportunities that come your way? Why employers will ask for your Facebook or Twitter handle?
The world is evolving and the social media is part of that world. Our Facebook account ,Twitter handles,Instagram handles etc tells alot about who we are. Whatever we post portrays who we truly are. The pictures and content you publish and share tells a lot about your personality.
I'm not saying don't dress how you wish to but you cannot be seeking for a job in a renowned bank and your fb profile is full of you in skimpy clothes ,You cannot be seeking for a job as a journalist and your tweets seem to always go against every ethics of journalism.
The social media is vast and you don't know who is watching, you don't know who is admiring that social media timeline of yours, you don't know who can recommend you because of a post you made. Do not let people talk you into thinking that the social media is solely for fun .
Mind what you post
Fix your social media handles
