Very repellent of the name of the applicant such as "Irishka Sweet Girl" or "Sergey Without brakes Smirnov". Also look at the statuses on your page and delete phrases with profanity, as well as "indecent pictures." Look through your photos and remove frank (in a swimsuit, with a party with alcohol, etc.). Look at what photos you marked with your friends and, if necessary, remove the marks. Add photos from seminars, conferences, training, formal events. You will benefit from photos with respected people, especially if they give you diplomas, certificates. On the avatar, put a neutral photo (not official, but not frank). Neutral photos from photo sessions will be relevant. Regularly look through your pages and delete unnecessary comments on the wall. Add to your page information about education, previous jobs, professional interests. This unobtrusive information can become decisive for the recruiter. If you are looking for work, place your resume on the page. Ask your friends to repost the message. Now very many companies are looking for their employees through social networks.
