Unemployed? Blame Your (Lack of) Social Media Presence
失業是因爲社交媒介上曝光率不夠
If you've been extra cautious about your online presence to the extent of not having any, you may actually be hurting your chances of landing a job. Employers are increasingly resorting to social media to check out a candidate's profile and see if they are a fit for their organization.
如果因爲過度擔心隱私而不在網上發佈自己的信息，你也許會錯失工作機會。現在越來越多的僱主會通過在線社交媒介查詢候選人的信息，看看是否符合他們公司。
According to a survey conducted by Harris Poll on behalf of CareerBuilder, 35 percent of employers are less likely to interview applicants they can't find online. The survey, conducted online on 2,175 hiring and human resource managers and 3,105 employees online within the U.S., found that 52 percent of employers use social networking sites to research job candidates, up from 43 percent last year and 39 percent in 2013.

2. Set your security settings so not everything you share is public. You can control the audience to your posts by choosing who you'd want to share your content with. But remember that you may not have control over how this information is shared further. So be prudent of all information shared online.
2.注意下安全設置，屏蔽掉不想讓外界搜到的條目。通過選擇對誰可見，你可以輕鬆控制自己信息的受衆。但要這樣並不能控制信息進一步外傳，所以在線要謹慎公開信息。
3. Share information that will help your candidature. Your recent certifications, volunteering experience, or interests that could help in your job – for example, coding or membership in professional societies could help your candidature.

4. Be active in associations and forums that help in your job hunt. Offer your expertise and network when possible. This could help when the hiring manager is browsing forums to find the right candidate.
4.在求職協會或者論壇上活躍一些。如果可能的話，可以在上面發佈自己的特長和主頁。這會有助於經常逛這些論壇的人事經理找到合適的候選人。
5. If you must, evaluate if you should be doing something to manage your online reputation. At all costs, avoid these social media mistakes.
5.如果有必要，應該保護好自己的在線聲譽。盡全力避免社交媒體上有關自己的負面信息。
