Social Media Updates ARE Costing Young People Jobs

Do you ever think about what you're going to post on Facebook or Twitter--whether it be a simple post or a picture.   You really may want to think twice---especially if you're job hunting and you're between the ages of 16 and 34.  New research finds that 10% of people that age have been turned down for a job because of a picture or a comment they made via social media.

Here's the very sad part of this research----even though a picture or a post could really  hurt their chances at landing a job, 2/3  of young people say they don’t care – and will continue to post whatever they want online.

Crazy to think this---but IS being on Facebook is more important to young people than being employed?   To me you still gotta pay the rent and make that car payment.   Why let a silly pic or post cost you a gig?    Just my "two cents!"  With my daily Facebook posts--I always try to be positive, encouraging and fun!
