DONT FAKE , BE TRUE• Does the employment and educational history on your resume match what's on your LinkedIn profile?

•Does the information you have on your Facebook page (if it's public) match up with the information you have elsewhere online?

•It's fine if you rework your job descriptions, for example, because targeting your resume is a good thing when applying for job.

•What's not okay is if your job titles, companies, and dates don't jive.

Posting Negative Information Online Can Get You Fired

1. Posting on LinkedIn can be problematic. One person who was fired ahead of schedule when he shared the news that

he had received a warning for arguing with boss with all his contacts on LinkedIn.

Consequence - That news got relayed to his boss and he was out of a job immediately

2. Facebook continues to be an issue, despite all the warnings about carefully using the privacy settings

Updating your status saying that you're bored or hate your job, can ensure you don't have that job to hate or be bored at anymore

3. Twitter is a problem, too. Every tweet shows to who avers following you, so your tweets are easily available.

4. Blog posts show up on the search engines, too, so be cautious what you say when you blog.
