Could your social media cost you a job?
Could your social media cost you a job? It just might.
Employers often check a candidate’s online presence as part of the hiring process — and what they find can either strengthen or weaken your application.
Before applying for roles, take a moment to do a quick social media audit. Here’s how:
✅ Review your posts, retweets, and comments for anything offensive or unprofessional
✅ Google yourself — you might find old content or forgotten accounts
✅ Check privacy settings on all active accounts and deactivate the ones you no longer use
✅ Ask friends not to tag you in anything that wouldn’t reflect well professionally
And remember — social media can also be a powerful tool for your job search. Learn how to make it work for you here:

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
