Be A Smart Girl About Your Online Profiles!

Did you know that MySpace and Facebook are one of the top places that employers look to screen applicants for new jobs?

Do not let carelessness with your profile stop you from getting your dream job at that place you always wanted to work.

With the economy downsizing staff and budgets, companies cannot afford all the background checks that they used to do. Many have turned to screening social network sites for profiles that indicate trouble when reviewing applicants for current job postings.

Profanity, negative content, and posting pictures that show drinking, drug use and nudity, are all red flags that employers look for when going online to check you out. Schools and volunteer agencies will also screen your profiles when considering whether or not to admit you or accept you for a position.

Be aware that the clubs you join, the songs and videos you post, and even your friends' pictures can affect your chances for landing the great positions and jobs that come your way. Use your privacy settings to control who sees what on your profile, but do not depend on them to keep everyone from seeing questionable content.

Screen every inch of your profile, from comments to blogs, for inappropriateness and things that might turn off a prospective boss. It is better to be safe than sorry, so take down every thing that might hurt your chances of landing a position you have worked all your life for.

Everyone has a MySpace and a Facebook these days, but not everyone understands how many companies, schools, agencies, and private individuals use those profiles as a way to screen applicants. Be A Smart Girl, and use your social networking profile to help you get ahead in life, not weigh you down!
