A recent Careerbuilder/Harris Interactive study found that 34% of companies have rejected a job candidate because of the person's social-media activity. Makes you rethink posting that picture of you with the a keg at your college fraternity party.
The top four reasons those candidates weren't hired are as follows:
1) They posted inappropriate photos or information.
2) There was evidence of drinking or drug use.
3) They had poor communication skills.
4) They badmouthed a previous employer.
Be careful out there! For more tips on your online image, check out my article that was printed in Change Magazine: http://www.changemagazine.net/business/strategies-for-success/1600-establishing-your-popi.html
