A friend passed along this link to me today of a Microsoft survey about how online reputation can impact job seekers:
A full 70-percent of surveyed HR workers in the U.S. admitted to rejecting a job applicant because of his or her Internet behavior. Meanwhile, about 60-percent of surfers admit to being concerned that their online behavior may affect their professional or personal lives.On the upside, "86-percent of U.S. HR workers said that a good online reputation can have a positive impact on a job candidate's chances," the article goes on to say.
How do you get a good online reputation? By building trust and not continually referring to yourself.
Are you managing your online reputation thoughtfully?
