-TIPS

4. • Facebook-An international communication
medium
• Employers are increasingly using Facebook
and other social networking sites to check up
on potential and current employees
• People have been disciplined at work/ have
missed out on job positions due to their
careless comment

5. IMPORTANT STEPS TO BE NOTED

6. Step 1: Check Your Privacy Settings
• Do you know how many peole read your
profile?
• Try these steps
– Log into your account
– Click the "Settings" button on the top left
– Then look at the "Networks" tab:
– Now click on the "Settings" tab, and on the
"manage" link next to "Privacy Controls“
• You can see how far your network stretches

7. • Never give your potential bosses access to
your entire profile.
• Never post any photos in your profile that you
definitely don’t want on your office notice
board
• The first impression your employer get of you
should be a professional one from the
interview
• Leaving your Facebook profile open to them is
a bit like inviting them to come and nose
around your home

8. Step 2: Cleaning Up Your Profile
Top ten turn-offs for employers on social
networking websites
1. References to drug abuse
2. Extremist / intolerant views, including racism,
sexism
3. Criminal activity
4. Evidence of excessive alcohol consumption

9. 5. Inappropriate pictures, including nudity
6. Foul language
7. Links to unsuitable websites
8. Lewd jokes
9. Silly email addresses
10. Membership of pointless / silly groups

10. • Update old information
• self-censor some of your "favorite music" or
"favorite movies", if you have somewhat
extreme tastes in either
• Try to list some favorite books, not just films
and music
• Mind your political views
• Make your Quotations ones which are
funny/profound, not lewd jokes
• Check for spelling mistakes

11. • PHOTOS-It's worth going through every single
one, and untagging it if it's not something you
want to be associated with.
• Avoid photos in which
– you look drunk/stoned/comatose
– You have a number of "unsuitable" looking friends
– where someone's put a really dodgy caption
about you
– Any photos containing evidence of illegal or semi-
illegal activity
• Photographic evidence may also be used to
catch our silly mischievous

12. Step 3: Keeping Your Profile Clean
• keep it safe for work-especially if you have
your superior in your friend list
• Set your status wisely
• Be cautious while you upload a photo
• Unwise to use Facebook while at work -your
actions are time-stamped

13. GO ON
MAKE YOUR FB PROFILE
EMPLOYER FRIENDLY

