5 FB, TWITTER MISTAKES THAT HIT YOUR JOB CHANGE CHANCES

Source: http://jobbuzz.timesjobs.com/jobbuzz/fb-twitter-mistakes-hit-job.html?utm_source=product&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=jbsignsoffired&resourcesVersion=aa694bbdda60b40aabd782f4eb49fertd&compressResource=true#ad-image-0

I have done some of the things mentioned below myself, a piece of advise, either consider this or do what your heart says is the right thing to do.


The big grumbler

We have our preferences and dislikes - be it about colleagues, our office, employers or life in general. Do not vent it out on social media to seek the world's sympathy. Recruiters see it as a sign of a candidate who is always grumbling.

Don't be a political fundamentalist

Everyone has strong political views and social media to the place where they like to show it off. However, employers do not like candidates who may one day start asking coworkers to join a political party.

Don't be a troll

Never ever bug or troll anyone on Facebook or Twitter or post nasty comments. It all comes back you when you are looking for a job.

Inappropriate photos

Social media is all about images but you must be careful what you post. You will automatically know which image can put off a recruiter - like you posing with a gun or doing something that you think is cool but may actually be unprofessional. Make your own judgement.

Facebooking, Tweeting during office

If you are Facebooking and Tweeting every 15 minutes, the recruiter would assume that you have nothing else to do.

This is a good one!! ;)

A rancher was minding his own business when an FBI agent came up up to him and said, "We got a tip that you may be growing illegal drugs on the premises. Do you mind if I take a look around?" 

The old rancher replied, "That's fine, you shouldn't go over there though." As he pointed at one of his fields. 

The FBI agent snapped at him, "I'm am a federal agent! I can go wherever I want!" With that he pulled out his badge and shoved it into the ranchers face. 

The rancher shrugged this off and continued with his daily chores. About 15 minutes later he heard a loud scream from the field he had pointed out earlier. All of a sudden he could see the FBI agent sprinting towards him with a large bull on his heels. 

The rancher rushed to the fence and yelled, "Your badge! Show your badge to the bull!"

Three Envelopes

A fellow had just been hired as the new CEO of a large high tech corporation. The CEO who was stepping down met with him privately and presented him with three numbered envelopes. 

"Open these if you run up against a problem you don't think you can solve," he said. 

Well, things went along pretty smoothly, but six months later, sales took a downturn and he was really catching a lot of heat. About at his wit's end, he remembered the envelopes. He went to his drawer and took out the first envelope. The message read, "Blame your predecessor." 

The new CEO called a press conference and tactfully laid the blame at the feet of the previous CEO. Satisfied with his comments, the press and Wall Street responded positively, sales began to pick up and the problem was soon behind him. 

About a year later, the company was again experiencing a slight dip in sales, combined with serious product problems. Having learned from his previous experience, the CEO quickly opened the second envelope. The message read, "Reorganize." 

This he did, and the company quickly rebounded. After several consecutive profitable quarters, the company once again fell on difficult times. The CEO went to his office, closed the door and opened the third envelope. The message said, "Prepare three envelopes.".

CEO's confidence

A hypothetical situation where 20 CEO's board an airplane and are told that the flight that they are about to take is the first-ever to feature Pilot less technology: It is an un-crewed aircraft. 

Each one of the CEO's is then told, privately, that their company's software is Aircraft's automatic pilot system. Nineteen of the CEO's promptly leave the aircraft, each offering a different type of excuse. 

One CEO alone remains on board the jet, seeming very calm indeed, asked why he is so confident in this first un-crewed flight, he replies "If it is the same software that runs my company's IT systems, this plane won't even take off." 

This is Confidence!

Insulin Shot

Source: www.ajokeaday.com

I’m a registered nurse, not a doctor, but here’s the story: 

Patient was a newly diagnosed diabetic who needed to be taught how to inject insulin. So the diabetes educator did the good old routine of taking an orange, drawing up insulin, then injecting it into the orange. He then made the patient repeat this practice routine a few times. 

The patient goes home, etc. He comes back in a week and his blood sugar is out of control. They ask him if he's been taking his insulin and he goes "of course." So they decide to ask him to demonstrate how he injects insulin. The patient goes "sure, I just need an orange." 

At this point I started face palming hard because I know where this one is heading. But of course they got him a orange and a vial of insulin with a syringe. So the guy draws up the insulin correctly, takes the syringe, injects it into the orange, and then says "and then I eat the orange."
