Be Careful About What You Write and Where You Write It

Employers are increasingly looking for information about potential employees on social and professional networking sites prior to interviewing them - which means that you need to be careful about what you write.

People are generally very careful when they construct their profiles on professional networking sites like LinkedIn, Naymz or Xing, but when it comes social networking sites like Facebook they become much less reticent about what they say and the way that they say it.

And one unguarded Twitter can get you into trouble anywhere if you import your Tweets onto other sites.

If you have a busy Facebook-type account, are looking for a job, and want to continue speaking freely about anything and everything, then you might want to consider removing identifying markers like photographs, addresses and telephone numbers that would enable a prospective employer to find you easily. And Tweet discreetly.
