If you are in the job market you may want to review your social networking sites to ensure your online reputation is not hampering your efforts to land your next position.

A full 70% of surveyed HR workers in the U.S. admitted to rejecting a job applicant because of his or her Internet behavior. 

86% of U.S. HR staffers surveyed indicated that a good online reputation can have a positive impact on a job candidate’s chances. 

The above results in a recent Microsoft based survey definitely reinforce the point that one needs to be wary of what you post to your social networking sites and more importantly what your friends may be posting to their sites. 

If you are active in social networking be sure to review your content and you may want to pay attention to what your friends have posted about you as well.  The phone that also is able to snap a picture makes it all too easy for content which may not be flattering to your online image to be posted within minutes.
