honestly it’s crazy how real this has become. professors at our college masters union aren’t literally checking our profiles or anything, but they do keep reminding us that companies look at the whole picture now, projects, internships, and yeah… how you show up online.
and it kinda makes sense? half the jobs we’re applying to expect you to know digital tools, communicate online, build a portfolio, show some proof of work. social media just happens to be where a lot of that lives. i used to think it was cringe, but now i’m like… okay maybe having a clean + intentional social media footprint is actually part of the game today.
okay wait are ur profs talking abt this???
