Do you document your unemployment journey on social media? I've been seeing those a lot on tiktok. I'm sort of Old School but wondering if this new age, Gen Z era if that's a good idea. Usually I keep my employment quiet but I'm anon on this platform.

I stay off social media. Employers are more likely than ever to do a social media search on you, and if your posts do not agree with the brand they want their employees to have, you might not get the job. Be careful what you put out there as it is an advertisement for your next employer.

I have a TikTok, but I certainly don't use it for that. I mostly post lifestyle content and product reviews. It's more of a creative outlet than anything. I don't think I'd want a bunch of people chiming in on everything I'm doing wrong with my employment search.

I honestly never thought of it. I don't think I even have the time to document it.

No, I have been trying to keep the fact that I’m unemployed as secretive as possible. I also don’t like watching content by people who want to chronicle every boring minute of their unemployment journey online.

Not only don't I document my unemployment journey, I recently shut down my IG, TT, and X accounts. I only kept FB to see pics family members post. I'm done with the rest. My brain needed a break.

I should, but after so many people have complained in the past about being negative I have stopped posting hardly anything.

How do you keep up/in touch with your network?

If I don't have any relevant information to share with them, what should I do?
