How Social Media Can Affect Your Job Search
Have you been applying to jobs and not hearing anything back?
If you’re not getting the outcome you’d hoped for or that you feel your experience deserves, perhaps you should take a step back and evaluate your technique.
There are a number of things that can hinder your job search success—and this one tops the list.
What Should We Be Doing?
The most difficult part for many of us is knowing which behaviors to do more of and which to do less of. This can be especially challenging in today’s society where the right to privacy has become seemingly more complex.
Privacy Online
It’s important to remember that our right to privacy online is complex, and not as secure as you may think.
In fact, many platforms may share your information with other businesses or share your information with law enforcement under certain circumstances.
Snapchat
For example, using Snapchat you are also agreeing to the terms of their service, which grants Snapchat the right to a royalty fee, allow Snapchat to use, reproduce, edit and distribute the consent that you post on the platform, regardless if your account is set to private (Snapchat Terms of Service: 2 Rights You Grant Us).
Technology Advancement
With the surge of technology in recent years, there are few people who are not digitally connected to the world in one way or another.
This means nearly everyone is findable. In fact, technologically inclined people can find almost anything they want online, including what you’ve been up to.
