How To Make Yourself Unemployable

UR Doin it Right!

Admit it; you've always wondered how to mix that perfect, permanently unemployed cocktail haven't you? How to make sure most potential future employers wouldn't touch you with a barge pole.

Well The Savvy Intern has some advice:

According to a survey of 300 hiring professionals conducted by Reppler, a social media monitoring service for managing online presence, a job candidate’s social network is thoroughly examined during the hiring process by 91 percent of employers and recruiters.

So what can job seekers learn from this? First, realize that the importance of a professional online image will help enhance your first impression when applying for a job. It cannot be stressed enough that even one picture, tweet, or exaggeration about your skills can deteriorate your personal brand.

Second, since Facebook is the number one most utilized social network (followed by Twitter), employers may want to inspect that your social skills and personality will match their corporate culture. If that were the case, you should use good behavior and judgment of your words and persona online as if you were working in a professional setting.

So for those trying this recipe out at home, remember the very best way to make yourself an employment pariah is as follows:

1. Be over 45
2. Be unemployed already. And,
3. Use non-corporate-approved language on Teh Internets.
