There are also people who are very talented with photo editing.
I remember on another automotive forum I was a member of, a guy got called out because he linked a picture to his instagram, where other forum members spotted pictures of their vehicles and he was claiming they were his.
If anything, Snapchat is probably the most reputable, because it is usually instant (unless uploading a saved photo), so harder to fake. I have Facebook and snapchat, nothing else. My Facebook profile I'm never on, and it has a few professional photos on it. My company was recently hiring a new IT technician position with mostly younger candidates, and many of them clearly did not know potential employers will check out Facebook and Instagram accounts judging by the pictures many of these people had posted.  |
Yeah - that is pretty funny isn't it? I always use facebook as it's the only one I have to check out potential candidates. Usually before they attend the interview, unless I'm unsuccessful at finding them. I find it to be very useful.
