Before saying anything online, you should really consider the long-term effects of what your comments would do to you when applying for a job. A digital marketing firm, KBSD, gathered information, tips and techniques about what to do online so you can come across well to a future employer.
Results from the search found that 48 percent of recruiters and HR professionals refer to personal websites when deciding if they should hire you. Another statistic found that 78 percent used search engines to find out more information about you. What about social media? They check that too. Sixty-three percent of recruiters check social media sites while eight percent of companies have fired someone for abusing social media.
People you know also pose a threat to you by their postings. To avoid negative material about you, KBSD released some tips to help people stay on top of things such as googling your name frequently, checking social media sites to see everything that is being said about you and securing your accounts so a hacker cannot post unpleasant things.
