Is social media jeopardizing our careers?

Is social media jeopardizing our careers? This is the question I ran upon when reading through an article today. And here is one piece of advice – job seekers ought to pay much more attention on where and what exactly they are posting on the online environment, since this can jeopardize their careers. According to a survey made in Germany, France and Britain, almost half of recruiters are checking out the candidates’ activities on the internet and their online reputation. What does it imply? More data protection or more censorship in the online world as well? And what happens for the ones not very active there?

  1. I think yes but of course social media is for online purpose but I don’t think if it is suitable in finding a job because I’m not try it yet.
