Are you wondering why so many nannies are rejected by agencies even though they have everything agencies usually ask for? Experience, qualifications, references, clean criminal record.
Often, it’s simply because of their questionable online presence.
It’s all very well having experience, references, etc., but if you don’t use social media wisely, it’s all for nothing and many agencies will prefer not to consider you.
Families who can afford to hire through an agency will never hire you without checking your social media, and it’s very unlikely they’ll want to go ahead with a nanny who doesn’t have a stellar online presence.
So, more and more agencies (especially high-end ones) are only accepting candidates with a positive and professional online presence, because they know their clients will only want to work with these candidates anyway.
So many nannies fail to find jobs because of their questionable social media, and they don’t even realize that the problem lies with their online presence.
Any inappropriate photos, videos, comments, and rants you may have posted on social media in the past can hurt your job search and even prevent you from landing a position.
So always be very mindful of your online presence, and before applying for nanny jobs, you must clean up your social media!
Recruiters may blacklist you just because of the negative and unprofessional image you project through your social media.
If you have been looking for a position for a while and have only had rejections, and if your online presence isn’t spot on, that may be the problem and it may be too late to fix it…
