March 2, 2010 Posted By: Trevor Wilson Category: Worst Tweets


Every week I scan Twitter for job hunting Tweets. Each time I do, I find people jeopardizing both their current job and their job hunt with their social posts.

Let this be a lesson to you. If I can find your musings online, a recruiter can too. I hope you can learn what not to do from some of these examples.

As always, 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 job hunters!

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

I’d send your application just in case…

——————————————————————————————————————————–

Wait, I thought you were supposed to party AFTER the you got the job?

——————————————————————————————————————————–

Companies love candidates who are organized…

——————————————————————————————————————————–

No.

——————————————————————————————————————————–

So does unemployment.

——————————————————————————————————————————–

Sounds like she really wants the job…

——————————————————————————————————————————–

Hmmm…I’m sensing a trend….

——————————————————————————————————————————–

Yet, you had time to Tweet…

——————————————————————————————————————————–

One doesn’t.

——————————————————————————————————————————–

That just sucks…

——————————————————————————————————————————–

REALLY?????

——————————————————————————————————————————–

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!
