Are you sure you want to post that?
Switched.com Offers a Chilling Statistic: 70% of Employers Have Rejected Applicants Over Online Info
Your mother is on Facebook. Well, maybe not your mother, but lots of people's are. And, if she "friends" you (and just try rejecting that one), she'll have full access to those pictures of that night when you "got sooooo drunk!" Now, if that isn't enough reason to keep your online life presentable, then try this statistic from Switched.com on for size:
"A full 70-percent of surveyed HR workers in the U.S. admitted to rejecting a job applicant because of his or her Internet behavior. Meanwhile, about 60-percent of surfers admit to being concerned that their online behavior may affect their professional or personal lives. A mere 15-percent of them, though, actually take these potential repercussions into consideration when posting content."
As one of our faculty has long said: "Never post anything online you wouldn't want to see on the front page of the New York Times--or below the siren on Drudge.”
