Conclusions
Social Media is growing but not yet transformational
Conclusion #1
![Page 42: NOVA Social Media Study](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051820/5538374a4a79599a678b46e1/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

Job seekers should have an online profile, but with caution; appearance, conduct and professionalism are more important online
Conclusion #2
![Page 43: NOVA Social Media Study](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051820/5538374a4a79599a678b46e1/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Conclusions
Core skills are the most important aspects of any resume – SM is best as free mechanisms for highlighting existing skills
Conclusion #3
![Page 44: NOVA Social Media Study](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051820/5538374a4a79599a678b46e1/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Conclusions
At the most technically advanced and largest firms, SM skills still might be a differentiator.
Conclusion #4
![Page 45: NOVA Social Media Study](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051820/5538374a4a79599a678b46e1/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Conclusions
There is no downside to having a SM presence, as long as it is maintained professionally.
