Being the Right Face

So we’ve discussed how I and many companies use facebook to weed out employees from our resume piles (if you missed it, here's the link), but if you were reading carefully, you got some tips on what to do if you are applying for a job. Have a public facebook profile.

I give extra attention to applicants with facebook profiles that make the person look stable, fun and likable. Now that you know my trick, you can use it against me and other employers to make yourself more desirable. Why not have your facebook profile website right on your resume? I want to know as much as I can about you, so give me some place to go after the resume.

If you decide to do this, you have to be careful about what you decide to post to your profile. Stay positive, watch the things you “like” and ask yourself “What impression does this post leave to a prospective employer.”

Social media is an excellent way to advertise your business, so why not advertise yourself?
