如果你正在找工作，你需要确认你的社交媒体页面上没有发表任何相关的不良行为动态，否则你会像一个斗牛士一样危险，因为你正在将自己的缺点暴露在招聘经理面前。

事实上，英国市场研究公司YouGov报告显示，在接受调查的2000多名决策者中，将近五分之一的雇主拒绝录用某些求职者的原因，是对他们在社交媒体上发布的动态感到不满。

当然，你知道某些照片不应该公开发表，如昨夜的狂欢场景。没错，47%的雇主确实会对聚会照片感到不悦，他们中71%不会录用有碰过毒品的人，也许你觉得不可思议，但是调查研究表明即便我们已经非常严肃对待自己的动态发布，我们仍然可能在自己的社交媒体档案中透露某些不当行为。

以下列举了该报告中一些让人出乎意料的发现：

1. 比起发一张自己戴着水钻头饰的夸张照片，什么对你的职业声望影响更大？

答案：犯拼写错误和语法错误。

是的。调查发现56%雇主不会录用社交媒体网页上经常混淆there（那里）、their（他们的）以及 they’re（他们是）等词的人。这一比例比那些发表酗酒图片人的比例足足高了9个百分点。如果你有这样的情况，每次发布动态时检查下拼写和语法。

2. 咒骂行为非常不好，非常不好，如用#@*&!@#这样的符号非常非常不好。调查发现招聘雇主首先不会考虑的人选就是喜欢咒骂的人，75%表示不会考虑说脏话的人，认为他们需要先把嘴巴擦干净。没错，爆粗口的言论比发布不醉不归的图片更易让你失去工作机会。尽量少使用@&*#等咒骂符号，否则你将会有可能丢掉工作机会，如果真的因此而失去工作机会，那么你确实需要把@&*#这些东西删除了。

3. 研究发现很多人会在社交媒体上放很多自拍照，而这可能不利于你找工作。调查发现26%的雇主认为放太多个人照不是非常好的现象，因为这可能意味着你是一个非常自我，而非具有团队精神的人。无论你今天（或者明天、后天）看起来多美，克制一下，不要放自拍照。

4. 你也许认为转发大牛的文章、新闻或者与你心仪的公司相关的东西，会让你的雇主觉得你非常投入和上进，从而为你找工作加分。然而，招聘者却认为你分享链接和图片过头了。调查中29%的雇主表示他们不喜欢看到人们在社交网站上分享太多链接和图片。不如试着分享一些原创内容。

5. 在社交媒体上表达政治观点有些铤而走险——政治分歧与日常生活中的冲突不同。尽管对于某种观点自己有强烈的想法是好的，但是如果你的招聘经理有着同样强烈而相反的观点，会对于你找工作造成不利。你的政治观点对你的工作能力没有任何影响，而29%的雇主表示他们不愿意看到人们在社交媒体上发表政治观点。(财富中文网)

If you’re in the middle of a job search, you likely already know that your social media pages need to be free of any incriminating activity, otherwise you risk waving red flags in the face of hiring managers, bullfighter-style.

In fact, nearly one in five employers have turned down a candidate because of social media, according to a report by YouGov, a UK-based market research company, which surveyed more than 2,000 business decision makers.

Of course, you know you probably shouldn’t publicly post those pics from last night’s rager—and yes, 47% of recruiters do indeed frown on party photos, and 71% just say no to drug references, in case you were wondering—but the survey revealed some more surprising mistakes we all might be making with our social profiles, even when we’re stone cold sober.

Here are some surprising finds:

1. What could be worse for your professional reputation than posting a picture of yourself ripping shots while wearing a rhinestone tiara?

Answer: Spelling mistakes and grammar errors.

That’s right: The survey found that 56% of employers would put the brakes on hiring someone whose social media posts regularly confuse there, their, and they’re. That’s a whopping nine percentage points higher than drunk pics.If you’re not already, get used to checking your spelling and grammar each and every time you have something to post.

2. Cursing is bad. Really bad. As in, really, really #@*&!@# bad. The survey found that a recruiter’s No. 1 social media turn-off is swearing, with 75% saying profane language would discourage them from hiring someone whose mouth could use a good washing out. That’s right: Foul language is a heck of a lot more likely to wreck your chances of a job than ample visual evidence of keg stands. Better get your @&*# together and watch what you say, otherwise you risk losing the job offer—and then you’ll really have something to @#&% about.

3. It turns out there is such a thing as posting too many selfies—and it could be the reason you’re having a hard time finding a job. The survey found that 26% of respondents think it’s bad form to post too many photos of yourself, as this might signal that you’re too self-centered or not a team player. Regardless of how good you look today (and tomorrow and the next day), curb your selfie shots.

4. You might think retweeting influencers, news, or even your dream company will earn you brownie points in your job search by showing employers just how plugged in you are, but recruiters see right through that when you start to over-share links and photos. In the survey, 29% of employers said they don’t like it when you share too many links and photos on social media. Try coming up with original posts, instead.

5. Expressing your politics on social media can be a risky undertaking—and we’re not just talking about potential clashes with your relatives. While it’s great that you feel strongly about certain issues, you could be putting your job offers in jeopardy if hiring managers have equally strong opposing views. While your politics may not impact your on-the-job performance capabilities, 29% of employers said they still don’t want to hear about your political views on social media.
