What are hiring managers and recruiters are looking for when they scan your online profile? Use these tips to cover your digital tracks that could harm your candidacy.
~ Key Takeaways ~
1. Be careful with your "friends" and associations. Employers and recruiters aren't just monitoring your online footprint, but also those of your close contacts.
