Employers are now checking Social Sites!!!



Social media has increasingly become a huge part of today’s society and most of all the job market. Sites like face book, twitter, Linked In and Skype allows us to advance in our careers along with our reputations. These sites are literally changing the way employers communicate with us. Using these tools can also help you to Network with other business associates and clients, it can show employers your technical, writing and communication skills, and most importantly they can help you to be become marketable and competitive in the field of your choice. With that being said, there are thousands of communities’ online and reputation is also very important because what you put online represents who you are and it can affect how people see you as a person.
For those who aren’t quite technological savvy, these digital tools lets you draw information from millions of people and organizations and I’m talking from all over the globe so the opportunities are endless and right now there are recent U.S studies showing that nearly 90% of employers either use, or plan to use, social media for recruiting. 




Some may care, some may not! I'm a live free kinda person myself, however there are some that may have plans to break through the corporate world and become a CEO, executive, president, etc. With these positions comes responsibly and the last thing anyone wants to do is tarnish their image because the "wrong people" saw their "WTF" post on twitter......Get my Drift?!


How do you feel about the 90% of employers that would like to use social media for recruiting?
