Social media and the internet have changed how people network and are used by employers in hiring. Recruiters often use search social media to find potential candidates. What people share online through posts, photos, or comments could negatively impact future job opportunities if embarrassing or unprofessional. While social media allows greater connections, it also raises privacy concerns as what users share publicly may have unintended consequences. It is important for people to understand how their data is used and shared online in order to protect their privacy and reputations.
