So you want to build a “social” resume, right? It might surprise you to know that doing so involves quite a bit more than just starting (or updating) a LinkedIn account.
A potential employer can learn a lot about you by checking your Facebook or Twitter, probing a blog or Tumblr, or searching your name on a social influence site like Klout. Heck, job opportunities have been lost by the thousands because of social media, so it makes some sense to treat your online profiles as part of a broader employment resume. They’re going to check them anyway.
And it’s honestly not a bad thing to be researched by an employer on social. They can get a much better idea of who you are through your social habits than by sitting down with you or cold-calling from a submitted resume. Furthermore, one in six job seekers said that social media helped them get their current jobs.
