The first impressions are being created by social media recently, what you post on them,” says Blair Decembelle, a career expert at LinkedIn, broadcast Online Economics. And your social settings give employers a glimpse of who you are, how your life is shown through these media, how dependent you have on the Internet. Through these they try to understand the personality that you have displayed through social media”.

Decembelle says almost one fifth of American interviewers have been eliminated from running, only because of photos posted in social media.

Here's what you shouldn't have posted on your social media while you're applying for work:

  • Photos of alcohol, drugs, and weapons
  • Separative or vulgar languages
  • Displaying political extremism

“Even if you are at legal age to cut down drink or publish a photo with alcohol, it's good to avoid it, because these images do not create a good impression of you”, Decembrele says. Continued political posting could be a setback. Decembelle suggests establishing borders between your professional and personal life.
