如果你正在找工作，你需要確認你的社交媒體頁面上沒有發表任何相關的不良行為動態，否則你會像一個斗牛士一樣危險，因為你正在將自己的缺點暴露在招聘經理面前。

事實上，英國市場研究公司YouGov報告顯示，在接受調查的2000多名決策者中，將近五分之一的雇主拒絕錄用某些求職者的原因，是對他們在社交媒體上發布的動態感到不滿。

當然，你知道某些照片不應該公開發表，如昨夜的狂歡場景。沒錯，47%的雇主確實會對聚會照片感到不悅，他們中71%不會錄用有碰過毒品的人，也許你覺得不可思議，但是調查研究表明即便我們已經非常嚴肅對待自己的動態發布，我們仍然可能在自己的社交媒體檔案中透露某些不當行為。

以下列舉了該報告中一些讓人出乎意料的發現：

1. 比起發一張自己戴著水鉆頭飾的夸張照片，什么對你的職業聲望影響更大？

答案：犯拼寫錯誤和語法錯誤。

是的。調查發現56%雇主不會錄用社交媒體網頁上經?；煜齮here（那里）、their（他們的）以及 they’re（他們是）等詞的人。這一比例比那些發表酗酒圖片人的比例足足高了9個百分點。如果你有這樣的情況，每次發布動態時檢查下拼寫和語法。

2. 咒罵行為非常不好，非常不好，如用#@*&!@#這樣的符號非常非常不好。調查發現招聘雇主首先不會考慮的人選就是喜歡咒罵的人，75%表示不會考慮說臟話的人，認為他們需要先把嘴巴擦干凈。沒錯，爆粗口的言論比發布不醉不歸的圖片更易讓你失去工作機會。盡量少使用@&*#等咒罵符號，否則你將會有可能丟掉工作機會，如果真的因此而失去工作機會，那么你確實需要把@&*#這些東西刪除了。

3. 研究發現很多人會在社交媒體上放很多自拍照，而這可能不利于你找工作。調查發現26%的雇主認為放太多個人照不是非常好的現象，因為這可能意味著你是一個非常自我，而非具有團隊精神的人。無論你今天（或者明天、后天）看起來多美，克制一下，不要放自拍照。

4. 你也許認為轉發大牛的文章、新聞或者與你心儀的公司相關的東西，會讓你的雇主覺得你非常投入和上進，從而為你找工作加分。然而，招聘者卻認為你分享鏈接和圖片過頭了。調查中29%的雇主表示他們不喜歡看到人們在社交網站上分享太多鏈接和圖片。不如試著分享一些原創內容。

5. 在社交媒體上表達政治觀點有些鋌而走險——政治分歧與日常生活中的沖突不同。盡管對于某種觀點自己有強烈的想法是好的，但是如果你的招聘經理有著同樣強烈而相反的觀點，會對于你找工作造成不利。你的政治觀點對你的工作能力沒有任何影響，而29%的雇主表示他們不愿意看到人們在社交媒體上發表政治觀點。(財富中文網)

If you’re in the middle of a job search, you likely already know that your social media pages need to be free of any incriminating activity, otherwise you risk waving red flags in the face of hiring managers, bullfighter-style.

In fact, nearly one in five employers have turned down a candidate because of social media, according to a report by YouGov, a UK-based market research company, which surveyed more than 2,000 business decision makers.

Of course, you know you probably shouldn’t publicly post those pics from last night’s rager—and yes, 47% of recruiters do indeed frown on party photos, and 71% just say no to drug references, in case you were wondering—but the survey revealed some more surprising mistakes we all might be making with our social profiles, even when we’re stone cold sober.

Here are some surprising finds:

1. What could be worse for your professional reputation than posting a picture of yourself ripping shots while wearing a rhinestone tiara?

Answer: Spelling mistakes and grammar errors.

That’s right: The survey found that 56% of employers would put the brakes on hiring someone whose social media posts regularly confuse there, their, and they’re. That’s a whopping nine percentage points higher than drunk pics.If you’re not already, get used to checking your spelling and grammar each and every time you have something to post.

2. Cursing is bad. Really bad. As in, really, really #@*&!@# bad. The survey found that a recruiter’s No. 1 social media turn-off is swearing, with 75% saying profane language would discourage them from hiring someone whose mouth could use a good washing out. That’s right: Foul language is a heck of a lot more likely to wreck your chances of a job than ample visual evidence of keg stands. Better get your @&*# together and watch what you say, otherwise you risk losing the job offer—and then you’ll really have something to @#&% about.

3. It turns out there is such a thing as posting too many selfies—and it could be the reason you’re having a hard time finding a job. The survey found that 26% of respondents think it’s bad form to post too many photos of yourself, as this might signal that you’re too self-centered or not a team player. Regardless of how good you look today (and tomorrow and the next day), curb your selfie shots.

4. You might think retweeting influencers, news, or even your dream company will earn you brownie points in your job search by showing employers just how plugged in you are, but recruiters see right through that when you start to over-share links and photos. In the survey, 29% of employers said they don’t like it when you share too many links and photos on social media. Try coming up with original posts, instead.

5. Expressing your politics on social media can be a risky undertaking—and we’re not just talking about potential clashes with your relatives. While it’s great that you feel strongly about certain issues, you could be putting your job offers in jeopardy if hiring managers have equally strong opposing views. While your politics may not impact your on-the-job performance capabilities, 29% of employers said they still don’t want to hear about your political views on social media.
