To be precise think before you post.My advise is: <strong>if you think you will get embarassed by the post you are updating in front of your parents or if you feel your post will make a negative impact on your profile during an interview then you need to hold back.<\/strong>\u00a0You might not know this but your potential employers might be seeing your social media when you are busy with your personal life to judge your personality.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Can your employees and co-workers be your friends on social media channels?<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: black\">Not to say that co-workers can&#8217;t be our friends, but think about it before you add them on social media. You probably don&#8217;t want that something that happened in your personal life became the latest office gossip. However, if your accounts are &#8220;clean&#8221; and are used in positive and professional manner than it can be best<\/span>\u00a0best way to connect with your emplyores. Sharyn O\u2019Mara said that it can actually be a good thing to add your co-workers on social media:&#8221; I think you should add your co-workers on Facebook\/Twitter\/other social media if they invite you to add in thier social networks. You can&#8217;t hide your personality from them, some day or the other they will get to know you so its better not to create any compartments of your life which are hidden and try to be more honest, reliable and truthful&#8221;.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Building up your Personal Brand<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Considering job markets five or ten years ago its important to make your own \u00a0personal brand (interests, talents, skills, job experience, etc.) in public and it plays a vital role to make future contacts and often judged by your potential employers.\u00a0<span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: #000000\"><strong>\u00a0Social media has many advantages, like allowing people \u00a0to connect with their favourite celebrities via Twitter, or even to connect with recent collegiate alumni and rub elbows with our dream jobs<\/strong>. But along with advantages, there comes a few drawbacks.<\/span><\/p>\n<div><span style=\"color: black\">Always make it a point to maintain your integrity and promote your skills and interests (hint: anything that would be a great conversation starter on a job interview like your hobbies, your achievements, your strengths and weakness whatever your resume contains). <\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>So what are you waiting for?
