5 Should I include social media?

Don’t hide social media such as blogs, LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook if 

they portray you in a professional light. Including them on your CV shows 

you have a grasp of new media, technological and communications 

skills, a passion for certain subjects or writing, and possibly a network 

of people who are interested in what you have to say. Personal social 

media accounts for private communication with friends are probably best 

hidden from employers. Keep them off your CV and alter the privacy 

settings so that only your friends can view them. It’s also worth searching 

for your name online to see what kinds of things employers can find out 

about you whilst they screen applications.
