Make sure that nothing in your online profiles or postings on social media sites (including Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter) will raise questions in the mind of a potential employer about your suitability for a job. Verify especially that details mentioned in your letter of application or listed on your résumé are identical to the information in your online profiles (e.g., names of previous employers, dates of previous employment). Keep in mind that potential employers will almost certainly check your online profiles and postings because it is easy to do so and because this information could offer a critical warning about your attitudes and behaviors. Employers will want to understand your personality and whether you will be a professional, respectful team member. How you characterize yourself on social media sites won't necessarily win you a job but could stop you from getting a job or from keeping a job.
