Don't Let Social Media Be A Road To Career Trouble

Social media has provided a platform for just about anyone looking for one to project a certain image of themselves. It has made us, in many ways, more accessible to one another, and more accountable, too. But social media can be a road to career trouble. While Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and the like can be an excellent way for those searching for work to market themselves—many companies use social media for recruiting purposes, seeking out potential employers who share their philosophy or have good ideas—social media can also be a way for employers to screen out employees. That is, while you’re busy crafting your personal image, potential employers are busy using it to predict how you might be as an employee.
