Read MoreToday, in the age of social media, the interview process begins well before your actual interview. These days, most hiring managers search your social media accounts for red flags before your interview (and sometimes before you even get to the interview stage). So, if you have an interview coming up, you’ll want to do some social media cleaning beforehand. Here’s how to do it. TikTok and Instagram If any of your social accounts are public instead of private, the first step to pre-interview social media clean-up is to delete all of the questionable photos and videos from your accounts, especially Instagram and TikTok, as those will likely be the first hiring managers will check.

You might think leaving these posts on your profile is just being the real you, but they very well could be lowering your chances of getting that job you want. And even if you’re not the kind of person who posts a lot of party pics, don’t forget to check what your friends post about you. You might open […]
