Social Media: Something new and of big concern now is if you have a “Social Networking Site” of your own. These are the sites where you post your entire lives and everything else about yourself that you should not be posting online. If you have a Twitter or Facebook page, make sure it is something you would want your prospective employer to see. They are hiring people to look over them and report on anything of potential conflict of interest. In addition, do a web search for yourself and any user names that you use or have used in the past and see what you find. They are checking things like that. Remember, never write or put anything online that you would not want your current or future boss to see as he/she just might have seen it already!
