Clean Up Your Online Act
It can be very tempting to vent on social media right now.
Whether you’re unhappy with civic leadership or disgruntled with your neighbor for being a bad quarantiner, there’s no better place to complain about it than to your vast online communities.
Except when you are looking for a job.
In fact, if you exist in the professional world, there’s never really a good time to get emotional in a social post. My advice? Don’t do it. Period.
One of the first things I do when vetting a candidate for a role for a company is to Google them.
If you’re amidst a job hunt right now, I would recommend you even take your online self-review a step further. Look back through the last few months of postings and review them through a professional lens. Delete anything you wouldn’t want your future boss or co-workers to see.
This includes angry rants as well as anything that could be construed as political.
When in doubt, throw it out.
