Not a good idea

Summary

I’m excited that you “nailed that interview,” I just hope your soon-to-be boss isn’t following you on Twitter, watching you talk about it like this. It’s not that you’ve said anything patently offensive – and you aren’t alone – it’s just that any and all snarky/job-related comments are now out there for the Whole Wide Web (and HR recruiters) to see.

Folks, you’ve heard me say it a hundred times: there is no privacy on the Internet. All of your social sayings are Google-able. Sooner or later, your co-workers/bosses/peers are gonna see this stuff. And then we’ll all blog about it. And we’re not laughing with you.

So, stop kicking yourselves in the rear and think before you Tweet. You’ll be glad you did.
