Thwarting Facebook Fails When You Didn’t Even Post It
At AdAge, Brad Karsh points out that most of us (clearly not all of us) have figured out how to behave ourselves on the Internet.
But what do you do when your friend tags you in that kegstand photo or your mother asks how your job search is going—while you’re still employed at your old job?
A couple obvious, and not-so-obvious suggestions from Karsh:
- Make sure the picture is taken down ASAP.
- Joke about it, but don’t lie.
- Be on your best behavior at work. Possibly even postpone your job search, because if you were to leave two weeks later, that looks a little weird, he says.
- And if you’re freelancing on the side, don’t use social media to proclaim how much you’re not committed to your full-time job. Durr.
Not mentioned in the piece, but kind of a no-brainer:
Make sure your privacy settings don’t allow the whole damn internet to see you doing that kegstand.
