We all know that potential employers check out our social media profiles, but we aren’t always sure what they are looking for. CareerBuilder surveyed employers and found out some surprising reasons they found to reject candidates
The top reason is obvious: 46% of employers rejected applicants due to “provocative or inappropriate photographs or information.” Some of the other top reasons aren’t as obvious:
Job candidates bad-mouthed their previous company or fellow employee – 36 percent
Job candidate had poor communication skills – 32 percent
Job candidate had discriminatory comments related to race, gender, religion etc. – 28 percent
Job candidate lied about qualifications – 25 percent
Job candidate shared confidential information from previous employers – 24 percent
Check out the link for the things you should do to your social media profile to give you the best shot at your next job.
