Description
Summary:With over a decade of teaching experience, preparing students for the workforce has become more challenging, especially with the growing influence of social media. Many organizations now conduct pre-employment background checks that include reviewing candidates’ posts, likes, and comments across platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, X, and Threads. Instead of avoiding social media, students should leverage LinkedIn, a professional networking platform focused on building career identity and connections. As LinkedIn gains importance in higher education and recruitment, it enhances students’ visibility to employers and boosts employability, making it essential for graduates to learn how to use it effectively.
