Strengthen Your Professional Presence on Social MediaStrengthen Your Professional Presence on Social MediaHave you ever thought of using social media to strengthen your career? There are many social media platforms and each has different offerings that may benefit you more or less depending on your current job and future career goals. First, decide where to spend your time. Figure out what features are must-haves, nice-to-haves, and irrelevant for showcasing your skills and building a strong presence. While you don’t need to choose just one platform, trying to build a professional presence on too many at once can be a waste of valuable time — especially if a platform isn’t serving your career needs or goals. Next, remember that just being on a social media platform isn’t enough. What matters is your visibility, your impact, and how both things are pushing you closer to your career goal. Who knows you is as important as who you know. Use your social media account like a online business card and share it with people you meet. Follow people on their professional social media pages, engage with their content, comment on their posts, and reach out with an ask or offer directly related to their interests or work. Then, create a content strategy for your account. Think about what types of content you will share, when you’ll share it and how your content will create value for your followers. Use your content to showcase your thoughts and perspectives so people can get to know you. Lastly, be consistent. Ensure that what you share and how you comment and behave on professional social platforms align with your values and how you want people to think about you.
