A few months ago, ComputerUser.com published this article I wrote and I thought posting it here on our blog would make it more accessible to the general public. The world of job seeking will continue to change as technology becomes more human resources friendly and the media is sensationalizing the use of Google and social networking sites to screen candidates. Pursuing a career today is a world of fierce competition and every aspect of your life could be poured onto a hiring manager's desk. The good news is that you can get ahead knowing what is in your background check before the employer does and using social network sites responsibly.
This article gives you insight into the new job seeker's world, what employers can see about you, and what they might do with the information - and some good advice on how to get around the mistakes of the past.
Enjoy and Learn...
