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!

Seems like you have a track record of success…

Maybe you will take your next job more seriously…

Nothing like a comment on race to get in the employer’s good book…

Perhaps you should tone down the desperation.

You dedication to the task at hand says it all…

No better way to impress an employer than to publicly reprimand them…
——————————————————————————————————————————–
There’s a fine line between confidence and narcissism…
——————————————————————————————————————————–
I can’t wait to see what Plan B is…
——————————————————————————————————————————–
You know what else they dig? A job…

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!
