Oh, those hilarious photos of you on Facebook. You know, the ones taken after you’d had a few too many tequila shooters. Your friends think they’re so funny. The human resources director who just interviewed you for your dream job might find them not so much funny as . . . informative. Forty-five percent of employers are now using social networking sites to research potential hires.
Top five things on your Facebook page that will really impress prospective employers:
5. The 25 – 30 lengthy, detailed updates every day, time-stamped as having been posted during working hours at your current job.
4. Access information for your company’s e-mail server, intranet, PayPal account and credit card info, to cleverly keep it handy in case you forget.
3. Helpful guides to beating drug tests, polygraph tests, and evading tricky questions like, “Have you ever been convicted of a felony?”
2. Your brilliant business plan: a) collect underpants, b) ????, c) profit!
1. Your resignation, crazy-ass rants about all the scary things in the proposed health care reform, and a picture of your husband’s bitchin’ new snow machine.
