How to Get Started: Step-by-step guide

1
Use your social media profiles to reflect your skills, experience, and career goals. Potential employers and recruitment agencies will often browse profiles, so make a strong first impression.
Choose profile and cover pictures to reflect who you are and make a good impression. Avoid anything that you would not want a future employer to see. Employers can decide not to offer a job to someone on the basis of what is on a person’s profile.
