Everyone you've ever met has interviewed you...

Now so are people whom you've never met!

That's the new way of life thanks largely to social networking and the whole 2.0 wave. What isn't new is that you still never get a second chance to make a good first impression. So before you hit 'send' on that resume submission for that perfect job, first ask yourself if there is anything on your Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc. pages that could be misinterpreted or misconstrued and potentially cost you an interview or job offer.

The power of these social networking sites can definitely work for you but, as with most things, can have an equal and opposite effect. Your friends and family are looking at your profile but so are prospective employers. The humor points you lose with your buddies by having that un-expressed thought or not posting the compromising photo of you and your friends may help advance your career.

We're considerably past 1984 but I assure you people are definitely watching how you go about claiming your 15 minutes...vinny
