Keep your professional reputation intact

and avoid falling into a social media trap

ONLINE networking is a great way to make

business contacts and widen your professional network.
Get your social media activity right and it
could help you land a job. Get it wrong and it
could damage your professional reputation.
Here are some mistakes you should avoid:
1. Having a dodgy photo (or none at all).
Employers and recruiters like to put a face
to a name, and people are less likely to accept
an online invitation if they cant see who
its coming from. Use the same image across
all of your networking sites to help create a
strong personal brand.
The only thing worse than no photo? A
snap of you sipping cocktails, where youve
cut other people out of the shot, and selfies
taken with your pet, child or spouse. A little
personality is allowed, especially in creative industries, but as a rule you should use
a well-lit professional headshot that clearly
shows your face. Dont be tempted to use a
photo from 10 or 20 years ago. You dont want
the interviewer to meet you and wonder what
else youve been deceptive about.
2. Connecting with anyone and everyone.
When it comes to online connections, think
quality not quantity and only accept requests
from people in your industry or profession.
Connecting with people who arent relevant
weakens the quality of your network. Youre
also less likely to be spammed with irrelevant information from strangers that way.

3. Not asking for recommendations.

If youve had a positive experience with
a manager or client, ask them for a recommendation. Upload it as a testimonial on your
website or social networking page. Send the
person a personalised message rather than
using the template provided on the networking site, and dont be afraid to ask them to
comment on a particular skill you would like
to promote. Recruiters use professional networking sites to head-hunt talent, and a good
recommendation from the right person could
land you a job. Worse than no recommendations? Reviews from your peers, mother or
friends. Tit-for-tat overblown recommendations will lessen your credibility.
4. Not updating your status.
Why go to the trouble of building an audience if you arent going to use it? Updating
your status regularly (at least once a week)
shows that youre active and engaged. Tell
others about your professional achievements
and progress, such as clients or awards
youve won, or link out to a feature youve
written. If you only update your status and
details when youre job hunting, its a clear
sign to your current manager that youre
looking to leave.
5. Exaggerating the truth.
You never know who will be looking at your
profile. That creative embellishment (when
you gave yourself a retrospective promotion
or took credit for someone elses work) will

Well get you

the right
candidates.

More than 50% of job seekers look to

local media to nd local employers.
72% of job seekers use local media to keep
up-to-date with their local job market.
60% of those job seekers respond
to ads in their local paper or website.

Get your job vacancies seen:

be seen by previous managers and colleagues,

as well as potential employers. People talk,
and industries can be more insular than you
think.
Recruiters may check your professional
networking page against your CV, and can
cross-check facts online. Any inconsistencies
dates of employment, job titles or responsibilities are an immediate red flag. That fib
on your online profile has the potential to trip
you up at interview and worse still, damage
your professional reputation for years to
come. Is it worth it?
6. Not using keywords.
Recruiters and hiring managers use professional networking sites as a search engine,
typing in keywords to find potential talent.
Make sure you name appears top of the list
by using targeted keywords in your headline,
summary and job descriptions. Avoid nonsense descriptions recruiters arent likely to
search on story-telling guru but might want
a copywriter and avoid overused words like
creative and dynamic. You should demonstrate, rather than tell, why you have those
qualities in your profile.
7. Asking for favours too soon.
Pitching your services to someone as soon
as they connect with you online is a mistake.
Instead, build trust and rapport by sharing
links to information they might find interesting or answering a question theyve posted
online. Being an active member of the site, by

joining debates and sharing useful information about your industry, takes time but
vastly increases your credibility.
8. Not adjusting your privacy settings.
If youre job hunting, consider changing your privacy settings on professional
networking sites. That way, your recent
activity wont show on your feed and your
boss wont be able to see when you connect
with a recruiter or follow a new company. If
youre going to use a social networking site
such as Facebook to connect with employers,
make sure you clean up your page first. If
youre unsure, set personal pages to private
and connect with employers via professional
networking sites instead.
