Like it or not, your social media platforms are telling everyone they reach a story about you. In an age where employers are more interested in reviewing your social media presence than your resume, it’s important to ensure your social accounts are painting a positive picture.

- information about drinking or using drugs,
- discriminatory comments related to race, religion, gender, etc.,
- those who bad-mouth previous employers or co-workers, and
- a lack of good communication skills.
