LinkedIn

 

(without personal details such as your address).  

• Reserach: 89% of businesses planned to 

use social networks 

for recruitment

.  

• LinkedIn was by far the most popular one for this purpose 

with 86% of companies wishing to use it, 60% were 

considering Facebook and 50% Twitter.  

• Make sure that your Facebook page doesn't carry evidence

making your page private and viewable only by friends and 

family is wise!
