Social media especially Facebook becomes a part of our daily lives. When we are happy, sad, dismay, angry, frustrated, excited and every feeling we have, often times we publish a post about it.
We post as well our gimmicks, travel, and other activities we have in Facebook to keep us active and show the world, what we are doing.
But if you are applying for a job, you should be very careful in what you post in social media.

But if you are applying for a job, you should be very careful in what you post in social media.
"Remember that some recruiters and managers would usually take a look at your social media account as part of their due diligence and whatever they see could influence their decision, whether to hire you or not," according to Philjobnet, a web-based labor market.
Here are 13 Things that are No-No's in Social Media, especially in Facebook!
1. Pictures of you drinking, it may be an old picture or a new one it shouldn't be there out there on the internet.
2. Photos that make you look bad in any way if you feel that you have posts that will make you look unprofessional you may want to take it down.
3. Tags from friends who make you look silly or irresponsible. Sometimes we have friends who like posting or tagging us inappropriate posts.
4. Nude pictures of any kind is a big no-no, you should never post these kinds of photos on your page if want to get hired.
5. Political posts that will show your affiliations, it's safer not to be associated with any political party or movement, it makes you a more attractive candidate than if you are a known supporter of a political figure.

Yes, it is our account and yes it is our right to post what we want. But when it comes to the possibility of our employment, of course, we do not want an opportunity to fly simply because of our careless post.
