Take care of your online reputation.
Your online teacher reputation is more important than you imagine. Nowadays, recruiters don’t just look at your resume; they also research your profile online. And we’re not just talking about LinkedIn, where you’re sure to project a professional image.
They will also look for personal profiles on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and TikTok. It is, therefore, important that your behavior is appropriate or expected of a teacher. In other words, don’t be flashy or make inappropriate comments.
That’s why today we’re giving you five tips on how to take care of your teacher image on social media. Take note.
1. Mind your language
An online teacher reputation has to do a lot with language. We mean that you should express yourself with respect for others, express your ideas clearly, without spelling mistakes, and with good grammar. After all, you are a teacher.
You should also be careful about your debates, especially when using Twitter, because we know that it is a social network where foul language prevails among users. Not falling into the trap and caring for your image is essential.
2. Be consistent
Your reputation as a teacher on social media should be the same as what you project in person. What you post on your Facebook wall or Instagram feed should reflect what you show at work or on your teacher CV.
There is no point in behaving well in the workplace or having great expertise if you are someone else online.
3. Have emotional intelligence
Social media exposes you to criticism and harsh comments from people you don’t know. Therefore, it is important that you know how to manage your emotions and not get into heated arguments that can bring out the worst in you.
The best way to prevent this from damaging your image as a teacher on social media is to block or mute annoying users.
4. Be mindful of the groups you join
This happens often on Facebook, and you should be careful not to damage your image as a teacher on social media. There are groups you may have joined when you were very young that today, far from helping you, can be damaging.
So, look at your profile and delete any groups that are not in line with what you want to convey as a professional.
5. Choose the best social network for you
There is no better social network to promote your image as a teacher than LinkedIn. That’s why we recommend you make it your main tool for promoting yourself as a teacher. It is easy to maintain and allows recruiters to see the best of you.
On other networks, we recommend adjusting your privacy settings so that only those who want to see your activity can do so. This way, you can be more confident that your reputation as a teacher online will remain unblemished.
