As a Senior Communications Studies Undergrad at York University, talk of the job-hunt has precluded many pre-class discussions. A trend that my fellow colleagues and I have noticed is that an increasing number of employers, within the Communications field, are judging the value of potential employees on the extensiveness and the content of their social media presence. This might include a personal blog, Twitter, Facebook and other social media sites. Here is an Infographic that I came across presenting statistical data about the prominence of social media analysis by employers who are looking to hire. It also provides useful tips to make sure that your “Social Resume” is not just appropriate, but optimal for your success in the job-hunt.

Do you find that a good “Social Resume”  is necessary qualification for a job?
