BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU POST ON-LINE...IT CAN
(AND WILL) BE USED AGAINST YOU!
It may have seemed like a good idea at the time, but this woman was
put on leave by her employer after posting herself making an obscene
gesture and mocking a scream at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
People posted complaints on her employer’s Facebook page,
offended by this kind of behavior at a place many consider to be sacred.
FOR BETTER OR WORSE...YOUR REPUTATION PRECEDES YOU!
TAKE ACTION NOW TO IMPROVE THE IMPRESSION POTENTIAL EMPLOYER’S WILL GATHER
FROM WHAT YOU PUT OUT IN CYBERSPACE!
High school and college students should be aware that prospective employers conduct background investigations
that may include social media searches. That means that those photos of you partying, disrespectful comments and/
or sharing information you think only your friends can see may end up in front of a potential employer. This can
not only eliminate you from that job you were hoping to land but sometimes even get you in trouble with the law.
Remember, anything you post can be viewable by the public and companies where you may someday want to work!
Conduct your behavior with this in mind and you can make social media work for you. LinkedIn is a great example
because you can post your resume, join groups, and post comments that show you are an expert in a certain area.
Instead of being turned away from a position, employers may end up seeking you out for your ability and creativity.
Alliance Worldwide Investigative Group, Inc. is contacted by employers seeking to find more information on applicants. The following background investigations provide employers with the knowledge they need to know if you are
the right candidate for them. Strive to keep your record clean and it should be smooth sailing when it comes time to
land that dream job you’ve worked so hard to achieve.
