Social media platforms are the best place to build your online presence. However, for job seekers, not all social platforms can be considered good for building a social presence. For instance, if you are on TikTok uploading dancing and singing videos, how will it help you to build your online presence as a job seeker. Likewise, if you are a YouTuber publishing entertainment videos, how will it help you as a job seeker. Therefore, you need to choose a platform that is best for professionals. I recommend LinkedIn. It is a social platform for professionals where you can publish your resume, and search for jobs. These days a lot of people submit their LinkedIn profile as their resume when applying for jobs online. Twitter is also a good platform for professionals. However, you should avoid Tweeting on controversial topics if you want to impress your employers. Having a personal facebook page where you have a proper bio and share content that builds your profile will also be very helpful. You will also have to build your personal website. If buying a domain and paying for hosting is beyond your budget, you can try a site called about.me where you can build one page personal website for free.
