Twitter - a jobseekers regret

by doug on March 20, 2009

twitterWe all hear about recruiting on Facebook, MySpace and LinkedIn (heck - my last post was about LinkedIn).  But what happens when what is ‘tweeted’ …is too much.  Or the tweet is exposed to the wrong audience? 

Cheezhead, one of my favorite blogs, uncovered a great example - Destroy your job prospects with one tweet.

Basically, a jobseeker shared her recent job offer and uncertainties if it was a job she would truly enjoy.  An employee of the employer (Cisco) read the tweet and sent the entire situation viral!!  Needless to say, Cisco will more than likely rescind the offer.  Probably not the smartest thing to ‘tweet.’
