January always feels like a reset.
New goals.
New opportunities.
Sometimes even a new job application or promotion on the horizon.
So how do you actually check what employers can see on your social media?
Most people assume they already know.
In reality, what is visible publicly is often very different from what you remember posting.
The question most people never stop to ask
What would someone else see if they searched you today?
Not what you intended to share.
Not what you see when you are logged in.
But what is publicly available right now.
Old posts.
Tagged photos.
Public comments.
Accounts you have not looked at in years.
The honest answer (and it is not meant to worry you)
Most people do not have “bad” social media.
They have unreviewed social media.
Content shared in a different stage of life.
Posts made before career plans changed.
Privacy settings that no longer reflect who they are today.
That is normal.
The issue is not what you posted.
It is not knowing how it currently appears to someone viewing it professionally.
How people usually try to check (and why it is not enough)
Most people try to check their social media by:
• Looking at their own profiles while logged in
• Scrolling through recent posts only
• Assuming old accounts are private
• Forgetting about tags, comments, and public interactions
The problem is simple.
Employers do not see what you see.
They see your public digital footprint.
Without your filters.
Without your context.
Without your memory of when something was posted.
That is why checking properly matters.
This is where a professional Social Media Check helps

Why people often do this at the start of the year
We see a clear pattern every January.
People choose to review their social media when they are:
• Applying for new roles
• Considering a career change
• Going for promotion
• Finishing education and entering work
• Wanting to feel more confident professionally
It is not about being “perfect online”.
It is about knowing your online presence supports where you are heading next.
