Dedicated hard worker, works as supervisor with 6 years of experience in combining management and customer service expertise in entertainment and social media. Looking for a position as manager in a fast growth company.

This topic was probably brought up before, but i wonder if HR staff researches a person on Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/etc., after someone applies. If you post things that might be controversial to some, maybe it's a good idea to temporarily delete your accounts until you get settled into a new job.

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a new job idealy as Junior social media ( or Custormer service, French speaker job..) in London. I have experiences in this field. I'm actually Chef ( in a restaurant ) but it's definitly not for me.

Contact me if you are interested, thank you.

Regards,

I worked for north shore lijmc as a volunteer from 6/17/10 - 12/19/14 I was fired because I wrote a comment on Facebook that stated I want every single f@$&ing cop killed for killing innocent people and abusing their power. I never gave them permission to scan through my Facebook and they had the audacity to tell me that I no longer work here! Do you think I have a legal case against the company since they infringed on my freedom of speech? Any response is greatly appreciated!

I keep seeing a ton of unprofessional posts. People complaining publicly about the job hunt. I am on the job hunt too and it's no fun, but complaining on here where recruiters and people you will be interviewing with can look at what you have been saying is not going to help you.

I wish you all the best of luck and I hope to see fewer posts complaining about not getting jobs. Also to anyone out there looking for jobs, never stop applying. I have taken a break from applying for jobs a few times when I had interviews set up and I ended up not landing the jobs then I was weeks behind on my job search. Now whenever I schedule an interview I try to keep applying for jobs and spend extra time to research the company.

Best of luck, Josh

No one is perfect and we all make mistakes when it comes to our social media presence. We can fall into the trap of getting too comfortable, and run the risk of oversharing. Today more and more employers are using social media as a recruiting tool to look at potential employees, even using it as a way to decide whether or not to interview an applicant. The fix is easy, and here are a few best practices to take into consideration when posting to all of your social media profiles: Do not post anything you would not want a potential employer to see/read. Always be sure to check spelling, grammar, and use proper punctuation before hitting the “post” button. (I’ve included a few links to resources to help with writing skills below) Keep the negativity to a minimum or leave it out altogether. Employers want to hire people that are positive, can adapt to change or pivot when necessary, are open to new ideas, and are willing to pitch in wherever needed, etc. When picking your profile picture, don’t post anything your grandmother wouldn’t be proud of. If you prefer to not have your profile (i.e. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc.) viewable to potential employers, just keep your profile(s) private. When it comes to Jobcase, remember that your profile is the first impression you’re making with employers, and keep all of your info up to date! Keep the rants to a minimum. Jobcase is here to help each other talk through challenges. But there is a difference between ranting vs. calling to attention a challenge that multiple members may be coming up against, and working towards a solution together. Keep any references to alcohol or drug usage off of your profiles. Try to stay away from getting “too personal” resulting in oversharing And lastly, do not use profanity on your profile.

As promised, here a few links to resources to help in your writing and to assist in grammar, spelling, etc.! https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/06/50-free-resources-that-will-improve-your-writing-skills/ http://www.wikihow.com/Sample/Proper-Punctuation https://www.time4writing.com/free-writing-resources/ https://interestingliterature.com/2015/02/02/10-free-online-resources-to-improve-your-writing/

Every day, recruiters are tweeting jobs they need to interview candidates for—making Twitter a seriously untapped resource for job seekers. To make sure you’re in the know about these leads, create a Twitter job search list that includes recruiters, hiring managers, company hiring handles, and job search websites. Then, review their tweets daily for potential opportunities.

Hello Jobseekers: Today I wanted to address how we poetry ourself on social media myself included. After read several stories about companies checking you Facebook/instagram it open my eyes to the way I am in my personal like may cause me not to get a job I want. Then I also read some one had called out of work due to being sick and the boss when on Facebook and there she was on the beach having a good time. When she came back to work she was let go. The lesson to this is don't post inappropriate thing on your social media it can cause you your job or even future employment. And don't lie about being sick n be laying on the beach. The same goes to a profession posting such has Linkin, yes we all love to voice our opinion myself include but keep to the topic on a professional level. For example sometime we post our personal things and to be honest no one care about your personal life other than you and your friends, companies who are browsing your page don't want to know how fabulous your clothes are they want to know your qualification to do the job they need done. Again hope this help you.

Wondering if anyone has been terminated due to a FB post that MAY fall under protected concerted activities. I was recently fired over a post (on a co-worker'so thread, not mine). We were discussing work expectations on our own time. One of my comments had to do with them only caring about their bottom line. That was what got me fired. The company's name was never mentioned & the post was deleted by the author later the same day. Someone copied it though & turned it in to HR. Several other employees also commented, but no one else was fired, just me. I'm still really upset about it & did apologize, but that fell on deaf ears. I've now had to take another job for less $$$ just to make ends meet. Could really use some advice on if I have any legal recourse or if I just learned a really hard lesson :( Please be nice!!!! I'm being hard enough on myself! Thanks

I was fired! I have always used my picture in uniform, on all corporate emails. I worked 4 hours, after getting sick from something I ate. They sent an employee to take my place. The very next day, I was called in on my off day. They, had a picture of me on Facebook, 3 years ago, of me with a selfie of me in uniform. They said one of my employees found it on my page and sent it to my supervisor.They said I breached policy. I was the only female and the only black person on a 24/7 account, for 7 years. And I have had to overcome so much negativity. If I breach policy, then why was it never address about my corporate picture in uniform?
