For the love of fruit snacks - Make your social media accounts private!
Seriously. Even Miley Cyrus knows not to PURPOSEFULLY let pictures of her drunk/smoking/being a tween whore pop up on Facebook. If you want a job, you have to convince potential employers that you're responsible in AND out of the workplace. That's just not going to happen if they search your name and the first Google image is you doing a keg stand. And they WILL Google you. And Facebook/Twitter/Blog/LinkedIn stalk you. As they should! Because if you're stupid enough to make your questionable extracurriculars so publicly accessible, you definitely don't deserve to be hired. SO! Do the following:- Make sure ALL of your social accounts are completely private.
- Delete any and all pictures/posts of you being an imbecile. Because private just means not seen...yet.
- Think about taking your last name off your accounts while on the job hunt. Yes, even Facebook. Not searchable=completely hire-able.
- Don't accept just anyone that friend requests/follow requests you. Potential employers like to get sneaky if they have any doubts whatsoever about your recent-grad maturity.
Sure, these privatizing necessities will make it harder for you to make sure your ex-boyfriend is still stalking your pics. But, I promise you it will be worth it in the long run.
