Your posts tell a story about who you are and what you believe in. That’s perfectly fine. But there are some precautions to take when you apply for jobs, since many places do a social media search as part of the hiring process. If there’s anything controversial or toxic on your socials, it could make the difference in whether you get offered a job. One way to limit employers’ access is to check your privacy settings. And once you have the job, avoid referencing employer details. Anything you post or like can be linked back to the company.
