So you're looking for a new job !
Alright
you've gone to the job sites online
you've gone to a recruitment consultancy
maybe you've seen some stuff in the back of the newspapers you've applied for
and guess what ?
as luck would have it you've got yourself a job interview
after submitting your CV
an employer potentially wants to meet with you
about whether you can add some value to their business
Okay, so let's think about it for a second
they see your CV
does it say much about you?
well in most cases it doesn't say a whole lot
Is your CV honest?
let's hope it is, and there's no white lies in there
okay let's move on from that
what do you think your employer/potential employer is going to do next?
they're going to search you on social media
Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, Google+
they're going to look everywhere at your social media formats
what you've got going on in your social media profiles
so that they can understand more about you as a potential hire
if there is anything on your social media profiles that potentially could damage you
represent your or misrepresent you should I say
then it's really important that you're aware of that and you do something about it before you apply for a job
whether you put your settings on to the maximum privacy
or whether you remove the pictures from university that all might not be so good
ones were you drunk partying or whatever it might be
get your social media cleaned up
make sure that your profiles have no inappropriate comment anywhere
okay they're deleted and they removed
make sure that everyone can see that you're a good citizen
and the right person to the role
now
one thing you could do after that
is to think about how much value you can bring to that company
how you can make that business more profitable
how your skills and experience can help that company be a better company
and have a better outcome with you being part of it
a great way of doing that
is to produce a nice two-minute three-minute video
of you introducing yourself introducing your skills and your experience
and talking about how you working for that organization is going to add massive value to it
if you do it it will make a big difference
you need to understand how people are going to perceive you
how they're going to research
you what they're going to find out about
you and how you can make sure you do your best
to add value to that business and talk about
how you are going to help that business grow be more valuable be more profitable with you being part of it
take it really seriously
I promise you as an employer of people myself
I see so many social media profiles that are absolutely hurendas
so it's important that you take time
to take stock, look at it and it will add value
and give you a better chance of getting the opportunity that you're looking for
okay that's it right now
remember whatever I say to you I say it the same way each time
because I want you to get the best out of it
get out there do your best
to make it happen
