Worst Job Hunting Tweets (Mar 9 – Mar 15, 2010)
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!

Employers love well groomed candidates!

A great lesson on the proper use of hashtags in a job hunt.

So tell me, why do you want this job?

——————————————————————————————————————————–
Brutal combination…

——————————————————————————————————————————–
I did that once… I feel your pain.

——————————————————————————————————————————–
Wait. Shouldn’t you get another job before you quit?

——————————————————————————————————————————–
When in doubt, be ambiguous.

——————————————————————————————————————————–
I really hope you’re kidding…

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!
