Now more than ever, employers are researching job candidates online. Employers look to sites like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn to find out more about you - not only your work background, but also your personality, your behavior and how you present yourself online.
So what exactly are employers looking for when they check out your profile? According to a recent study by social media monitor Reppler, employers might hire - or fire - you based on:
- Photo albums and tags
- Pictures or mentions of alcohol or drug abuse
- Poor communication skills
- Inappropriate or discriminatory comments or posts
- Complaining about previous employers
