How different is “professional” you from “everyday” you?
...Lets talk FaceBook
![Page 20: An AOII presentation on professional internet use](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815b20550346895dc8daa0/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

• Use facebook as a tool – show good things– Ex. Pictures of you volunteering at Feed My
Starving Children• 35% of hiring managers google you• 23% look up your facebook (Pomenon Institute survey)
• 1 reason: Its easier/faster than calling references

drugs (duh!)• Bad grammar/spelling• Public complaining – Don’t rant
