Is your Facebook profile employer-ready?<\/h1>\n

Facebook has become a professional tool that employers use to vet potential employees. Make sure what they see isn\u2019t harming your chances of getting a new job.<\/h2>\n

Are you an obsessive selfie taker? Are your weekend antics splashed across your timeline? Do you have a tendency to share questionable material?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Perhaps it\u2019s time to review how you use Facebook and consider how it\u2019s affecting your career prospects.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Get<\/h3>\n

Here are a few do\u2019s and don\u2019ts for your Facebook page:<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Remove any photos, content and links that can work against you.<\/li>\n
  • Keep your issues offline! Focus your content on positives and make sure to highlight your achievements or interests.<\/li>\n
  • Create your own professional groups to network and establish relationships.<\/li>\n
  • Remember, others can see your friends, so be selective about whom you accept. Make sure to monitor comments made by others and posted on your timeline.<\/li>\n
  • Don\u2019t mention your job search if you\u2019re still employed. It\u2019s unprofessional!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Privacy settings<\/h3>\n

    Remember, along with fine-tuning your CV, ironing your best shirt, and researching the companies you\u2019re interviewing with, it may be time to pay a visit to your Facebook privacy settings and review what you\u2019re revealing to the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
