“Social media is now an important tool in finding a job. You can use social media accounts to post your CV, or a video, for prospective employers to view. You can also identify and follow a range of potential employers to find out more about work opportunities.

“Many employers check people’s social media pages when they apply for a job. If you are looking for work, be careful what pictures you post online!”
