Having A Flimsy Social-Media Presence
If you can't be found online or if Googling your name leads a recruiter or employer down, you're surely losing out on opportunities. So what do you do? Get on social media immediately!
Since there are many networking sites to set a bench mark for yourself as well as your career, make sure to the recruiters that you have a strong social media presence to counter on your credentials. But having said that before you post anything online, think twice and don’t put up anything and evening as it could be stupid, thoughtless and insensitive.
Ignoring your LinkedIn account
You might be big fan of facebook and twitter but it’s also important to revive your rusty LinkedIn account frequently, so that you don’t miss out on opportunities with a New Year approaching close.
Linkedln isn't just a useful website when you're job searching, but also critical for documenting your accomplishments, networking with current and prospective business contacts and staying up to speed on industry trends.
