Each and everyone has an account on at least one social network nowadays. Employees, managers, executives and even businesses owners are using social media platforms for both personal and professional purposes.
Therefore, one single social media mistake can ruin your shot at a job without you ever knowing:
- “I’m over 21 and its my personal life” won’t be a sufficient excuse after posting a photo in which you are over drunk or smoking weed.
- Insulting and infringing isn’t humorous, particularly when it comes to professional life.
- Photos in bikini are acceptable unless it is a one piece bikini, the down part only.

- Revealing company secrets online is a betrayal and lack of confidentiality.
- Posting at work may be normal unless when in an important meeting with the manager.
- Posting a photo partying while you are on a sick leave isn’t ingenious.

- Making fun of a client won’t be acceptable neither by him nor by your managers.

For a generation living online the most of its time, considering privacy settings, thinking well before accepting a coworker/boss friend request and double checking each and every post is a must, regardless of the profession type.
