Social media has become a way for individuals to share
themselves with the world. Hiring companies know this,
and they have begun more and more to investigate how
candidates present themselves on the Internet. The
number of companies that research social media had
jumped 4 percent from 2013 to 2014, while an additional
12 percent plan to begin doing so in the future. These
employers are looking for positive testaments to a
candidate's professional life but are also considering what
the candidate shares about himself or herself personally.

3.  According to CareerBuilder, 46 percent of
companies eliminate candidates due to
inappropriate text or images on social media,
while 36 percent disqualify a candidate who
has spoken ill of a previous employer or
coworker. Employers today seek passion and
interest, which they look for on a candidate's
LinkedIn or Facebook profile. Placement
experts suggest that candidates keep social
media positive and interest-oriented, while also
creating online portfolios and profiles that
accurately present work history, abilities, and
recommendations.
