Apprenticeships & Social Media in Victoria
March 5, 2015Social Media & Managing Your Online Presence
We can surely all agree that social media is not something that is going to ‘go away’ any time soon.
It is a desired skill to be proficient in social media in both a business and personal sense. If you’re looking for a job, such as a business traineeship or carpentry apprenticeship, it is critical you understand how to use social media and to use it to your advantage in finding employment.
Social media can be a very valuable tool in job hunting, e.g. the Victorian Group Training Facebook page lists job vacancies regularly in Colac, Geelong regions as well as across the state. It can be a great way for you to network too.
Essentially, social media is your online profile – or as some employers view it, an extension of your resume. Therefore, there’s a right way and a wrong way to use social media.

Unsurprisingly, there are some big obvious No No’s. Some of the most important things include grammatical errors, profanity and political rants.
