It wasn’t the job interview questions that cost you the job!
If I told you there was a very good way to DECREASE your chances of getting a job in medical sales (laboratory sales, pharmaceutical sales, clinical diagnostics sales, imaging sales, DNA products sales, hospital equipment sales, medical device sales, surgical supplies sales, or any healthcare sales) BY OVER 30%, you’d want to know what it was so you could avoid that at all costs, right? Here it is: it’s your Facebook page. Or your MySpace page, or other social networking site page.
Steven Rothberg, from CollegeRecruiter.com, believes that as many as 75% of employers check social networking sites on all job candidates (I always check), and wondered how many are influenced by what they see. He found a survey from Career Builder that says that 34% of employers admit to dismissing a candidate from consideration because of what they posted on social networking sites.
I am amazed at the raunchy stuff people put out there for anyone to see. I always look, and I won’t back a candidate who “exhibits” such unprofessional behavior. Don’t let Facebook keep you from getting that new job.
What’s your opinion?

good…usefull
I am a college student who has a Facebook. Typical right? Well I think that using this social network as a “pre-interview” is not very effective. “Clean up your facebook.” “Delete your pictures.” What good does that do? Just because you didn’t see someone do that beer bong last weekend, doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. Changing the pictures doesn’t change the person. You will still be hiring that sorority girl who takes tequila shots with her sisters at house parties. Only difference is the pictures are saved on her computer. There is a reason for the option of setting a page as private. Employers who require you to be friends with them so they can see your pictures is just unnecessary. Let us live the college experience and let us keep our pictures so we can remember it. Give us the traditional interview and then make your opinion. Judge our work experience, judge our resume, don’t judge us from our pictures of last weekend.
