Make Sure Employers Aren't Finding Digital Dirt on You!

Submitted by antoniem on Tue, 01/12/2010 - 3:37pm

YIKES!  If You are Guilty of ANY of These – You Need to Clean Up Your Digital Dirt!

Email – IloveBEER@yahoo.com – Never use an unprofessional email with employers.  Simply create a new one using your name for all professional contacts.  Be sure to check it daily.

Facebook -  Not a good Facebook Image! If this looks like your Facebook page, better do something – quick.  Surveys show that over 45% of employers check out Facebook profiles of potential  new hires (including internships).

Google – Ever Google yourself?  In an article by CFO.com, it is reported that 75% of recruiters use search engines to check out candidates. Know what is out there by signing up for Google alerts and/or pubsnub.com

Twitter – Facebook can get you fired but Twitter can do it faster.  Watch what you tweet.  This is something you should NOT be sharing with the world   #iwish I had a girl to sleep with me tonight  twitter
