I read a shocking article today about some employers and colleges asking to see people’s Facebook pages, and insisting on being able to monitor their Facebook and social media accounts. It starts with this quote:
If you think privacy settings on your Facebook and Twitter accounts guarantee future employers or schools can’t see your private posts, guess again.
This is one more caution sign about social media for all job seekers – and anyone who plans to look for a job any time in the future. You need to be aware that ANYTHING you post can be found by a determined person. Employers can be very determined.
How timely, then, is the webinar Send Is Forever: Workplace Communications in the 21st Century happening on March 14, 2012 at 2 p.m. Click on the title to find out how you can register for this intensive information-packed 1 hour webinar, that will teach you to communicate safely and effectively in this digital age.
You can avoid big missteps in written communication, and thereby protect yourself from employers who may hold something against you – something you didn’t even know might be a problem.
