Social Media + Employment

12/12/2016

 

As an employer and image consultant, nothing drives me crazier than when an applicant has terrible social media and are surprised they aren’t getting a callback.

News flash: employers are checking your social media. I don’t care if you think it’s right or not, it’s happening so get the heck over it! 

Google can be your best friend if you’re on good behaviour when using social media! It can give an excellent impression of who you are and what your personal brand is all about! If you enjoy posting drunken pictures, photos of you doing illegal drugs or even half dressed photos, Google will remind you at every possible chance. Especially when it’s an employer checking.

I suggest everyone google themselves often and even more frequently if you use social media often.  Even if you don’t post controversial things, you should still google yourself to see what comes up, especially if you have a common name.  You may find that someone with the same name as you has a very different view than you do.  This could cause an issue if an employer is googling you but hasn’t had the chance to meet in person, or perhaps they’re trying to fact check some of the things you said during an interview and this other Jane Smith is a total jerkface.

As an example I googled myself and this is what came up:

| amandamarie.biz. | Google Yourself|
The first three items on the list are in fact me… the others are not! It’s also nice to see that the top three items are me and for someone who works on social media a lot, that could be an indication you’re doing something right!

I challenge you to google yourself and see what comes up! Can you handle the results?

Were you shocked by what you found?

Just do the dang thing already. This is OUR remi Just do the dang thing already. 

This is OUR reminder - because I need it just as much as you-  that now is the time to do the things you’ve been holding back on. 

Get out of your comfort zone and see what’s possible. 

One of my favourite things is to make a list of all the things I’d want to do if time, money and logic didn’t get in the way.  Don’t worry about the “How”. It’ll come. 

Trust me when I tell you, logic and I are TIGHT so it’s a bit of a struggle at times to break the bond and allow my mind to wander. But I’ve done things I didn’t think were possible and we’re just getting started. 

What’s something you’ve always wanted to do!?
I’m hella late posting this but as my birthday w I’m hella late posting this but as my birthday was last month I spent a lot of time reflecting on the year prior.  It was without a doubt one of the hardest years yet. 

Not many people know, but I spent most of last year sick and my natural instincts to work harder in times of crisis was actually making things worse. 

I had to take a step back, learn to rest ( still working on this really…) and the hardest thing of all… ask for help. 🙈🙈

I learned some valuable lessons, many that hurt but needed to be learned. I set boundaries, took time to work on healing and slowed down. 

There was a lot of low points but there was also a lot of really amazing moments too. 

Grateful for all the experiences on this wild journey of life and a few key people (you know who you are) who’ve supported me along the way! 🖤

Here’s to 31!
April 2023 // the month YOU go after what you want April 2023 // the month YOU go after what you want!!
I’m just looking for people looking for me! If t I’m just looking for people looking for me! If that’s not you, that’s totally cool! I’ll still cheer you on from the sidelines 🎉
