One of the most overlooked factors that can make or break your job search is your social media presence. You could have the perfect resume, glowing LinkedIn profile, and stellar cover letter, but if your social media doesn’t align with your professional image, it could be the reason you're not landing interviews.

We’ll explore how employers use social media to screen potential candidates, the most common red flags they look for (from inappropriate comments to questionable TikTok dances), and why cleaning up your accounts before applying is crucial. I’ll also share real-life stories, including a shocking instance of a medical grad losing a prestigious fellowship over a single Facebook quote.

In a world where Gen Z faces unique challenges in the job market, I’ll break down why things like private accounts, derogatory comments, and even party photos can still come back to haunt you—and how to avoid these pitfalls. Stay tuned for actionable tips on scrubbing your profiles and making sure nothing stands in the way of your next big opportunity.
