This is the first edition of a new feature on Gradversity which will highlight some of the worst job hunting Tweets from a given week. I’ve always been a big fan of learning through the experiences of others, so I hope that you can learn what not to do from these “wonderful” examples.

In order to provide (at least a little) anonymity, I have declined from posting the users name or linking to their Twitter account. No sense compounding the problems for these poor souls.

Beware! There is some off-color language in some of these tweets. Consider yourself warned!

On with the show!

Nothing like a strong, confident candidate…

You’re tweakinnn’ what?

Don’t worry, he’s probably sick of you too.

—————————————————————————————————————

Not something I would admit in a public forum.

—————————————————————————————————————

Greed is good…just not in the job hunt.

—————————————————————————————————————

Apparently, it’s at least one more than you’ve currently written…

—————————————————————————————————————

I would suggest a different answer to the “why are you leaving” question.

—————————————————————————————————————

Desperation never works in an interview…

—————————————————————————————————————

Glad to hear it! I hope that the employer doesn’t see this…

—————————————————————————————————————

Actually, I think that term automatically disqualifies you…

Don’t let this happen to you! Beware of what you post on Twitter, Facebook or any other social networking site. It may come back to haunt you!
