You don’t always think about it, but posting the wrong thing on Facebook could have serious consequences. Here are some tips to keep your information safe and you out of trouble.
Don’t give away all your personal information.
It may seem silly but putting your address or telephone number on Facebook could give someone the information they need to steal your identity. If you want a Facebook friend to know your address or phone number send them a private message. Also, try not to leave clues to online passwords you may have. It’s hard to think twice about a status update with your dog’s name or your mother’s birthday, but if those are the passwords to your email or bank account you could be in trouble.
Keep the party posts to a minimum.
I know it’s hard to resist partying, but try not to post the snapshots of your epic night on Facebook. When you apply for jobs, many employers head to Facebook to see what their potential new employee is all about. If they see nothing but pictures and status updates of a wild night out, they will likely choose someone over you for that job even if you are more qualified.
Don’t talk bad about your job/employer.
Ever since Facebook became a hit, countless jobs have been lost because someone vented their frustrations about work on Facebook. If your boss is really an idiot or you hate dealing with annoying customers everyday fine, just don’t put it on Facebook for the world to see. Your employer has every right to terminate you if you talk bad about the company online.
