Job candidate image – underratted aspect of recruitment process

Abstract

Effective image building is a very important skill. We create our personal brand in private and business situations using various tools. In the era of general Internet access, social networks play a very important role in the image creation process. The Internet is a space that has great potential, but it carries many threats and dangers, and ignorance in this area is not an excuse. The article deals with the issues related to the modern labour market, recruitment process, jobs candidate images and online screening process. The author briefly characterises the mistakes that job candidates make in creating their image (especially in the media). In addition, the paper raises the issue of image, its attributes and significance, with particular emphasis on the recruitment process.
