What is the MAIN thing you DO NOT want to do on social media?
Employers are checking out candidates on Facebook, Twitter, and other social media sites. If you post something bad, I guarantee someone will read it and that very well could be the wrong person i.e. a hiring manager. Posting company business (good or bad) and posting inappropriate information on Facebook are just a couple of examples of what can get you in trouble, or even cost you your job, especially when you do it from work. SO THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU POST ON SOCIAL MEDIA
