| Social Networking, Your First Impression More than ever before, everything you do on the Web plays a part in whether or not you land your perfect career. With the accessibility of the Internet in offices around the world, many employers and HR representatives are taking the hiring process a step further in order to single out the best candidate for the position. With a few simple keystrokes and a click of the mouse, anyone can type in a search of your name and instantly bring up pages with information, pictures, and videos of you, your family, and your friends. Social websites like Facebook and Twitter may be a fun way for you to connect with people, but remember, unless you and the people you know have restricted the public's access to profile pages, videos, and pictures of you, all of that information will be easily available to anyone who Googles your name, including a future employer. Be careful not to allow any inappropriate content to be shared over the Web, and regularly search your name to find out what information is circulating so you can keep your resume at the top of the stack and avoid getting it thrown into the bottom of the trash. |
