If youre on the hunt for a new job, the first thing you think to do might be to spruce up your LinkedIn page.

While thats always a good idea,a new study from the job search website Simply Hiredsuggests that theres somewhere else you should tidy up first: Instagram.

The sites survey found that while 29% of hiring managers looked people up on LinkedIn, 38% of them checked out an applicants social media accounts.

In most cases, hiring managers and recruiters are looking to see if youre likely to be a culture fit for the position.

Were all typically a bit more relaxed with what we post on social media versus what we share on a professional site like LinkedIn, so a manager could discover that youre into baseball (great for the company team!)

and like to volunteer tutoring kids in your spare time… or they could learn that you spent last weekend blackout drunk at a keg party.

Obviously, whether or not a manager is going to look you up on social media and what they might be concerned about varies by profession, but if youre looking for a new job its a decent idea to presume that the hiring manager will be checking you out and either lock everything down until youve got that new gig or use those accounts to your advantage.

Victoria Whiting, internship director at the marketing form Agency H5,told Fast Companythat Instagram is a great place to showcase your eye for cohesive imagery, brand development, engaging content, and clever copywriting.

So, if youre applying for a new gig where something like your photography and design skills matter, then bumping up the relevant content (and hiding the inappropriate stuff) could help give you a competitive edge.

If youre applying for jobs in a technical field, try posting some relevant stories with a bit of your own insightful commentary.

If youre looking for a job as a chef at a restaurant, double down on posting pics of some of your delicious at-home creations.

That doesnt mean you oughta make your social accounts all work focused, showing youre a well-rounded candidate with varied interests can be a good thing… just double-check the interests youre showing dont include how good you are at keg stands.

Look at your accounts and ensure everything is something you would feel good about your potential new boss seeing, and either delete or hide everything youd rather keep private.
