“You should update your social media accounts so that they reflect you and your personal brand in a positive way.”
In times past the advice to those seeking connection on a professional level was mostly concerning personal appearance, “Dress For Success”, and meeting the cultural and social mores of the groups of individuals you sought for your network of contacts. In this context how you present yourself on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Google+ is made just as important as your face-to-face encounters. The old caveat, “You don’t get a second chance to make a good first impression” definitely applies. You are not in total control of the perception others will have concerning you though you ought to make a concerted effort to present yourself in a positive light that garners a respectful perception by others. In matters of the perception of you have neither ignorance nor apathy. “I don’t know and I don’t care” are both unacceptable.
