KEEPING YOUR SCREEN CLEAN

Do you ever explore a brand's social media profiles before applying for a role? Well, it's highly likely they do the same to you. Check out these hot tips to ensure you're well-prepared for your next employer's social screening.

All of your social media profiles showcase a true representation of yourself, or at least how you want others to perceive you. The desire to impress your followers is one thing, but you should also want to dazzle your potential employers. It might be time to say goodbye to the party girl persona online and consider the following hot tips…

We all deep dive into a brand’s social media when we are contemplating applying for a new role, but have you ever considered that they might do the same to you? And yes, we are talking well beyond the initial LinkedIn scroll. 

As part of the screening process, employers check personal socials to ensure you align with the brand's overall ethics. Keeping your social media posts polished, positive and personable will not only showcase what a great candidate you are, but also ensure that you are the right culture fit, which goes both ways.

Your social media is a great way to escape reality and express yourself creatively, so saving those edgier posts for your “close friends” list might just be your next best career move.

Lastly, show that you're passionate about what you do! Use your social media platforms to your advantage - Instagram and Tik Tok can be an extension of your creative portfolio, especially in the fashion industry. If you use these tools to show what you can in a more organic way, you're bound to pass your next screen check with flying colours.
