We all like to use our social media presence to have a little fun. Posting pictures and updates of your daily activities and lifestyle is a habit for many. However, when looking for a new job, always remember that your prospects can see what you post too. So, videos of your cat doing crazy things, good. Videos of you doing crazy things at a party, not so good.
You never know if your friends or followers have contacts in the job market you are looking for. Let them know in a professional manner that you are looking for a job and include some highlights of your expertise. You might just find that the connection you need to consider for a position already exists.
