Could Your Facebook Profile Throw a Wrench in Your Future?

In a world like today where everything is televised and electronically available to pretty much anyone at any time of one's day, it's kind of hard to not use social media. In the United States, at least. Third world countries, my heart goes out to you, but you also don't have the same problem that derives from social media. This problem would be that employers use social media as a method of research when hiring, something a lot of people applying for jobs are not okay with. Now, I do not personally own a website or anything as big as that, and I wouldn't count this as social media or anything either, but I do own accounts across multiple social media sites. I have posted somewhat personal stuff to these social media outlets, but I haven't posted things that are super personal I'd never be okay with anyone seeing. What I classify as "public" is not much, maybe pictures from going to a theme park, or cute pictures with your family, posts about family trips or special events taking place. I would draw the line at that, anything people don't need to know should not be put up there. Comedians making jokes and writing funny posts about life, that's ok, but if you want to express how you feel about someone in a negative connotation, that should be left unsaid. Who knows who's going to see the vulgar language you may include in that post. Could be your future boss. Or not. He probably wouldn't hire you if he saw stuff like beer pong and you getting wasted at a party or doing drugs or being a terribly rude person. Those things, should you choose to do them, should be private. Otherwise, they could really hurt you in the long run.
