Social media is a phenomenon that’s here to stay. With the growth of platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and Youtube, it’s given rise to a more interactive approach to your job search. We’re seeing global trends of employers spending progressively more time Googling candidates and screening social media profiles.
As competition among graduates in Asia becomes more competitive, it therefore begs the question, how does one stand out from the crowd using social media?
