SOCIAL MEDIA…

MYTH OR REALITY???

Do you (would you) ever use social networks as part of your job search?

The must-haves

Useful intelligencePrivacy protections

Professional tone and feel

“No! I want to control who knows that I am looking for a job. It’s very private information. On social networks, you

don’t have many privacy protections”

“I’m not interested in networking with other job seekers. They’re my

competitors”

“I want to know as much as possible about the companies that are posting vacancies. This is how I might use LinkedIn—maybe it turns out I

know or can meet some people who work there”

“I especially wouldn’t use something like Facebook—which is part of my social

life, not my professional life”
