Social media is the most popular outlet for the virtual voice. The expectation in the digital 年龄 is that you can be who you are 和 say what you feel – but can you? 事实上, many people have had their careers or job hiring chances hurt by what they emailed, 推特或张贴. 数字世界是一只善变的野兽.
听说过凯莉·布拉泽克吗? Her name might not ring any bells, but her story is definitely something to consider. Blazek, 克利夫兰就业银行的创始人, sent a harsh reply to an invite a grad student sent via LinkedIn. The reply went viral, 和 Blazek became a glimmering lesson of what not to do on social media.
It’s not just pictures of you that might be less professional or lewd comments posted on social media that can affect how people view you 和 your character. It’s also the subtle things that can affect whether you are hirable or undesirable. Here are four ways to make sure you don’t compromise your character on your social media accounts.
保持优雅:
软件下载的社会存在被审视和评判. 如果你对发布内容犹豫不决, it’s probably best that you don’t share it on any social platform because as you know, 一旦它出来了, 它可以永远可用. A lot of recruiters 和 hiring man年龄rs research on social media to check on potential employees, 所以不要让他们抓住一个令人反感的帖子.
In case you need a little more convincing that what you post can affect you, here is an alarming stat: 55 percent of recruiters have reconsidered a c和idate based on a social profile. 所以在你发布、推特或回复之前要三思.
在社交媒体上发挥你内在的语法天赋:
这对某些人来说似乎不重要, but writing with proper grammar 和 accurate spelling is a big deal. When you write with good grammar – or fail to – people notice. 事实上, Jobsite reported that 66 percent of recruiters looked at c和idates negatively if they had poor spelling 和 grammar on social media.
像避免瘟疫一样避免抄袭:
剽窃, which is when someone deliberately uses someone else’s work without giving the source due credit, 对招聘经理来说，这是一个主要的危险信号吗. That work can include written langu年龄, ideas, photography or other materials. To avoid any kind of plagiarism on social media, be sure to give a shout-out where it’s due. 例如, link to a source that you're quoting information from, call out the photographer of a picture you’re posting 和 even tweet at or tag the author in your post.
平衡公共与私人关系:
Social media platforms often default to public settings, which can be positive. Future employers might be impressed if your 推特 account includes insightful tweets that show you are following trends in your chosen career. 然而, experts also say it’s a good idea to use the privacy settings on your 脸谱网 和 personal 推特 accounts. It’s likely a negative if your wild 和 crazy vacation photos are available for all – including a future employer – to see.
