Tips From The Lab - The importance of cleaning up your social media footprint when searching for a new role. In 2023, ScoutLab had two outstanding candidates who had received offer letters, only to have them rescinded. Why? Both candidates had posted questionable content on social media sites that did not line up with the culture and values of the companies that had extended the offer. All that work and preparation, telling your friends and family about your new job, even giving your two weeks’ notice at your former employer….All thrown away from a mistake with a simple solution. Cleaning it up: The Why and The How. WHY: 1 - First Impressions Are Critical - Potential employers, clients, and even friends often form their first impressions of you based on your social media profiles. Inappropriate posts, controversial comments, or unprofessional photos can negatively impact these impressions. A clean and professional social media presence ensures that you present yourself in the best possible light. 2 – Recruiters And Hiring Manager ARE LOOKING At Your Social Media - Many employers and recruiters use social media to vet candidates. Inappropriate content, offensive language, or unprofessional behavior can lead to missed job opportunities. 3 – Your Own Protection - Over time, you may have shared personal information, opinions, and photos that you no longer want to be public. Cleaning up your social media accounts allows you to remove or update this content, protecting your privacy and reducing the risk of identity theft or online harassment. 4- Building A Positive Brand - Your social media footprint is an extension of your personal brand. Consistently posting positive, insightful, and professional content can enhance your reputation and influence HOW: 1 - Review Past Posts - Go through your history on all social media platforms and delete or hide any content that could be seen as unprofessional or offensive. 2 - Update Privacy Settings: Adjust your privacy settings to control who can see your posts and personal information. 3 - Be Mindful of New Content: Think twice before posting new content. Consider how it may be perceived by others and its potential long-term impact. If it is questionable, THINK TWICE about posting. 4 - Use Professional Networks Wisely: I know this seems obvious, but you would be surprised. Keep your content relevant and professional. 5 - Regularly Monitor Your Accounts: Periodically review your social media accounts to ensure that your content remains appropriate and reflective of your personal brand. Cleaning up your social media footprint is an ongoing process, but it can save your reputation, save you from the embarrassment of a lost job, and ensure that the new paycheck you worked so hard to earn will be yours after a successful interview process! Thank you and stay tuned for more tips and best practices from the ScoutLab team.
