I have seen in my previous office where employees were fired when our employer saw their blog posts. Knowing nothing about online job etiquette these blog posts were used for sharing confidential information and making unethical comments about the company or the employer. Not just this, there were some employees from other companies who posted company news, pictures and even made positive comments about their company, but have still lost their jobs.
But that is not what I want to discuss. Let us talk about job etiquette seekers. Will having a blog or a personal web site impact your job etiquette? Will it be for better or for worse? I just came across a blog where a blogger posted that he lies in all his interviews. This is something that will definitely not thrill a prospective employer if they came across it. On another instance, I came across a job seeker's blog where she mentioned that she loves to party all night and drink excessively on a regular basis. This would definitely have a negative impact on their interview or most of the time the employers would not call them for an interview at all. This may not be the best job etiquette out there huh?
There are times when you can’t put everything on the resume like personal information. A resume is more about your professional achievements and career growth. As a result, there are many people who put that information on their blog or web site. This information contains your real identity and personal things like what you like, what you hate and your fantasies etc. The people whom you least expect to read are the ones who would go through it. They can be your current boss or prospective employers, and can also be your customers, colleagues and peers. Whatever you do, try to keep both your offline and online etiquette top notch!
