You can use social media to build relationships and trust and let a future employer get an idea of who you are by how you present yourself. When using Facebook as your personal page you can add an extra page by clicking on create a page and follow the prompts. This page is separate from your profile and you can use it to post articles and links related to your profession. Twitter is one of the most effective social networking tools for promoting yourself. It is best to keep tweets related to your career and you can set it up so your Facebook page updates posts to Twitter directly. Start following people and when they follow you follow them back.
