479: 7 Social Media Mistakes that Can Tank Your Job Search

In today’s hyper-connected world, your social media presence isn’t just personal anymore; it’s often the first impression a hiring manager gets before they even open your resume.

What you post, like, or comment on can quietly signal your professionalism, judgment, and emotional maturity (or the lack thereof).

A single ill-timed rant, a subtle dig at your boss, or an old spring-break photo that never got untagged can instantly move your application from the “yes” pile to the trash without you ever knowing why.

The good news is that avoiding the most common pitfalls is straightforward once you know what recruiters are quietly screening for.

By keeping your online voice positive, authentic, and drama-free, you protect your reputation, you not only safeguard your current job search but also build a personal brand that makes opportunities come to you.

In this episode, I dive into the seven subtle (and not-so-subtle) social media habits that silently sabotage even the most qualified candidates, and exactly how to clean up your digital footprint before it costs you your next big role.
