You keep things professional and probably not too controversial.  \n\nBut a University of Colorado researcher says what you do on other platforms – like Facebook or X or BlueSky – might matter more than you think. Jason Thatcher has been studying how hiring managers use social media to make decisions about candidates. \n\nAnd he found 60 percent of hiring managers decide who to interview or who to hire, in part, by checking out applicants’ social media accounts.  \n\nSo how do your Facebook rants about the recent election affect your chances of landing your dream job? What can you do to make your social media accounts more appealing to hiring managers? . And what are the red flags that hiring managers look for?  \n\nIn the NoCo’s Brad Turner spoke with Thatcher about what he’s observed.  \n\nYou can also check out Jason’s previous In The NoCo interview, on how to limit “technostress” that can drive you crazy at work. \nSign up for the In The NoCo newsletter: Visit KUNC.org\nQuestions?
