Social Networking – Be Careful of What You Share

↑ Grab this Headline Animator

Now days you have to be extremely careful of what you are sharing on your social networking pages because hiring managers are beginning to use social networks to make hiring decisions. The things that you post on your page such as photos, videos, snide remarks, etc. can be used against you in a split second. And in all honest I don’t believe this is fair at all because you deserve a degree of privacy, but it’s like they say – “nothing is private on the Internet”

In order to communicate freely on social networks you should begin protecting your social pages by making them private. Now this can be both a good thing and a bad thing. It protects you from potential employers but it makes it hard to build your social network. A lot of times people want to see your picture or profile before requesting you as a friend and this would be a problem for them.

But nonetheless, I think that protecting your pages is the safer route to go. Or at lease use that method until you get the job. Another thing that you may want to consider is just making certain information available to people that are not on your friends list. Facebook gives you the opportunity to do this, but unfortunately there are some social networks that will not allow you to do so.
