In one of our free summer workshops that we held in Vigo as part of the #FemxaSummerSchool initiative, we talked about how to appropriately use social media for job searching.

When discussing this topic with the attendees, my previous impression was confirmed that a large part of the population actively seeking employment does not trust social networks as a kuwait phone data channel for obtaining a job, although there are always exceptions and real cases among the attendees, of people who have accessed a job through Linkedin, Twitter and Facebook, precisely in that order.



Whether or not you are contacted for an interview through these social platforms, it is almost certain that your presence (or absence) on social media has influenced the evaluation of your candidacy, since in a recent survey among human resources staff, almost 90% confessed that they try to obtain more information about candidates by consulting their social profiles, in order to get a more realistic impression of them, as well as to check their digital skills, an increasingly essential skill in the working world. That is why it is so important to have an online presence and to demonstrate that you handle yourself in the virtual environment appropriately.
