Over the past few months I’ve spent some time writing about how your presence on social networking sites can harm your career (see the Cisco Fatty Incident or Fixing A Damaged Online Reputation).

Well the good folks over at Resume Bear have compiled a list of Twitter Tweets called 30 Ways To Lose A Job On Twitter. It’s an excellent example of how your online musings can cost you.

One of the problems with sites like Facebook and Twitter is that unless you take steps to lock down your account, anything you type is freely available to other users. What some people fail to understand is that if Resume Bear can dig up this information, so can your boss or perspective employers.

While social networking can be both fun and rewarding, it’s important to remain dilligent about what you post. It may come back to haunt you.
