Do Not Let Your Tweets or Posts Create a Bad Impression

Don’t be naïve…you should assume potential employers will check out your activity on social media sites like Twitter and Facebook.  Far before you collect your first paycheck, any well established mutual fund or hedge fund will have hired someone to do a background check on you. Social media can provide a wealth of information for these investigators.  Therefore, make sure that what you put out there for public viewing would not cause an employer to have second thoughts about offering you a job.  Do not allow your public posts to cause a firm to question your character or judgment.
