WELL THE TOORN SAY -- ATTORNEY SAYS SAMSUNG KNOWS ABOUT THE PHONE AND THE COMPANY WON'T COMMENT. SO LET'S TALK ABOUT LOSING A JOB BEFORE THE INTERVIEW HAPPENS. IT IS HAPPENING TO PEOPLE BEFORE THEY LAELZ IT AND WE EXPLAIN WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN YOUR OWN INTERNET PRESENCE TO HELP PROTECT YOU AT WORK.
IT IS WHERE WE SHARE MEMORIES, PHOTOS AND OPINIONS. BUT WHEN IT COMES TO SOCIAL MEDIA, SOME OF US MIGHT BE SHARING TOO MUCH. WE'RE NOT ONLY LOOKING AT TYPES OF COMMENTS BUT SPELLING.
GRAMMAR ET CETERA. Reporter: A RECRUITER SAYS WHEN I NEW PERSON COMES IN SHE STAFRTS WITH GOOGLE. THEN CHECKS THE O PLACES LIKE FACEBOOK, TWITTER AND INSTAGRAM.
SHE WATCHES FOR UNPROFESSIONAL PHOTOS, CURSE WORDS OR RED FLAGS COMPANIES WANT TO KNOW ABOUT BEFORE THE CANDIDATES WALK IN TO THE INTERVIEW. WE'RE NOT LOOKING FOR BAD CONTENT. IF SOME POSTS FIVE TIMES A DAY YOU'RE WONDERING IF THEY SHOULD BE WORKING.
BUT JUST THE OPPOSITE IS ALSO A RED FLAG. IF I CAN'T FIND SOMEONE AT ALL I'M WONDERING IF THE PERSON IS WHO THEY REALLY ARE. A FOR TUNE 500 COMPANY SOUTH WEST AIRLINES HIRED CLOSE TO 7000 PEOPLE AND RECRUITERS USED SOCIAL IMMEDIATE TO FIND MANY OF THEM.
LOOK FROM THE LENS OF AN LOER AND ASK WHAT THEY WOULD THINK ABOUT THAT. ONE COMPANY SAYS IT USES FACEBOOK, TWITTER AND INSTAGRAM TO ENGAGE WITH POTENTIAL HIRES BEFORE EVENTS. BE PREPARED AND HAVE A PRO ACTIVE APPROACH TO KEEP IN MIND THAT THE JOB FIELD IS COMPETITIVE.
EVEN IF THE SOCIAL MEDIA FOOTPRINT IS NOT CLEAN, YOU CAN SPRUCE UP YOUR PROFILES. HIT DELETE. THAT'S YOUR FRIEND.
WHAT YOU SHARE BECOMES YOUR FRIEND. DO YOU HAVE A LOFT DRINKING PICTURES, ARE YOU CURSING ON TWITTER, COMPLAINING ABOUT YOUR BOSS? COMPANIES?
Reporter: SHE SAYS IF YOU WOULDN'T SHOW A PICTURE TO YOUR BOSS, IT SHOULDN'T BE OUT THERE. WHEEL DELETING PHOTOS AND COMMENTS HELPS CREATING A PROFESSIONAL PRESENCE ON THE WEB HELPS TOO. HAVE A FULL NAME ON YOUR EMAIM ACCOUNTS.
IF YOU'RE QUESTIONS A POSTDON'T HIT SEND IN THE FIRST PLACE. DATA DOESN'T DIE, EVERYONE HAS A CAMERA PHONE WHERE YOU CAN TAKE A SCREEN SHOT OF EVERYTHING. EXPERTS SAY THE OTHER TIP IS TO CREATE A PROFILE OR START MAKING A DALE POSTTO MAKE THE PRIOR UNPROFESSIONAL POSTS GO FURTHER DOWN.
