Top 10 Social Media Do's and Don'ts
Social media, including sites like Twitter and Facebook, can help
you find a job and connect with people who can assist you with
growing your career. However, it works both ways. Social media when
used the wrong way can backfire and jeopardize a job offer or even
your current job. I am amazed that people still post
"I hate my job" on Twitter or complain about their boss without
thinking of the possible
ramifications.   Then they're
surprised if, all of a sudden, they don't have a job. It's
important to be careful and consider what you shouldn't do, as well
as what you should do, when using social media to job search. What
you put in your LinkedIn Profile, who you connect wit...
Social Networking Can Boost Your Career
It's strange to think that up until a couple of years ago "friend"
was a noun, not a verb, and tweeting was something only birds did.
Now, we "friend" people and humans tweet. There are many things I
love about social networking. For example, it makes it easier to

Optimizing Online Networking
Sakina writes: Is it a good idea to network online, and if so, are
there sites out there that you would recommended? The Career Doctor
responds: Online social networking is unquestionably important. I
would characterize this type of networking as excellent
supplemental networking. The two mistakes I see are spending too
much time networking online at the expense of the more effective
face-to-face networking and failing to eliminate or counteract
“digital dirt,” negative or controversial information
about you that employers may uncover when they search for you.
Digital dirt can especially be a problem for younger job-seekers
who post risque photos of themselves or discuss sex, substance use,
politics, and other dicey topics online. I offer Hansen’s
