Social Media: Keep it Professional or Keep it Private! - Tami Riggs
From the article:
If you are active on social media, be aware that what you give to the web and sharing platforms can be linked to your professional profile. Information you post publicly on any account leaves a digital footprint that is fair game for all to see, whether you are a prospective employee or a current one. A first and lasting impression can be reached well before a virtual or in-person meeting is ever scheduled.

If you are active on social media, be aware that what you give to the web and sharing platforms can be linked to your professional profile.
