Why did you complete a Company Hunt via Social Media?
I decided to complete a Company Hunt on Social Media as another way of actively seeking employment, and to prove to the Job Centre Plus that I am trying my best to look for suitable employment.
Where and when did you complete a Company Hunt on Social Media?
I completed this Company Hunt via Twitter on Monday 19 August 2019.

Conclusion
This definitely felt strange looking for employment through Twitter, as I feel Twitter is not a ‘Professional’ networking site.
However, I did enjoy the experience and would consider using Twitter again for future Company Hunts.
