As social media plays an increasingly large role in our everyday lives, building a reputable and professional social media presence can provide exposure and opportunities. In the midst of a job search, deleting or hiding social media accounts may seem like an easy way to avoid unnecessary scrutiny; however, your online presence not only helps law firms determine which candidates exemplify firm values, but also provide insight into how you interact with others and the world around you. In fact, around 57% of employers are less likely to call a candidate back for an interview if they have no social media presence and approximately 70% of employers said they check candidates’ social media profiles for red flags.
