求职者要注意网上言论  

There's been no shortage of warnings about the career dangers of posting racy content on sites like Facebook and Twitter. Yet many job hunters still don't heed that advice
and others don't realize they're doing just as much damage by doing things like bending the truth or spamming their resumes.
'You're going to be remembered -- and not in a positive way
' says Colleen McCreary
chief people officer for San Francisco Game developer Zynga Game Neork Inc.
Ms. McCreary says candidates consistently damage their reputations by sending cover letters that disingenuously claim a specific position at the pany is their dream job. With a check of Zynga's applicant-tracking system
she can see that those people submitted the same letter for several other openings
too. 'They've now lost all their integrity
' she says. As an alternative
she remends that job hunters write about the o or three positions they're most qualified for in a single letter.
麦克里说，求职者总是发来不真诚地声称公司某个职位正是他们梦想的工作的求职信，这只会损害求职者的声誉。通过Zynga的求职申请跟踪系统，麦克里可以看到这些求职者将同样的求职信也投递到了其它数个职位空缺。她说，这样做让他们的诚信丧失无疑。她建议，求职者反倒可以在同一封中说明自己最适合的两三个职位。
Job hunters also regularly flub by submitting their resumes to multiple recruiters and hiring managers at a single firm. 'What they're doing is a huge turn off because it sucks up a lot of time for people
' says Ms. McCreary.
Likewise
job hunters repeatedly derail their chances by applying for positions for which they don't even meet the basic requirements. 'There are a few people out there who seem to see it fit to apply to every job we ever post
' says Dan Goldsmith
a managing partner at AC Lion
an executive-search firm in New York. 'Those people just go right in the trash folder.'
There are also job hunters who repeatedly send the same recruiters their resumes
which can give the impression that they're desperate
adds Mr. Goldsmith.
Liars make up another category of memorable job hunters. 'People will say they graduated from [a] school and you find out from looking online that ... they just took a course
' says Ms. McCreary.
Executive recruiter Russ Riendeau says he checks candidates' resumes against their LinkedIn profiles and often discovers discrepancies. 'It's helping me assess whether candidate is indeed who they say they are
' says Mr. Riendeau
a partner at East Wing Group
a search firm in Barrington
Ill.
Meanwhile
many job hunters are also continuing to overlook the dangers of posting provocative photos and other dubious content on social-media sites. Case in point: Recruiter Lori Fenstermaker says she lost interest in a recent candidate for a legal-assistant job after finding her raunchy MySpace profile. 'She represented herself in a way that would not align with the pany's philosophy and ethics
' says Ms. Fenstermaker
founder of Automatic LLC
a search firm in Grand Rapids
Mich.
There are also some job hunters who are unwittingly going out of their way to spoil their prospects. Last year
a candidate for a senior client-services position invited Mr. Goldsmith to be part of his Facebook neork. After accepting
the recruiter found a semi-nude photo of the candidate
prompting Mr. Goldsmith to withdraw this person from consideration. 'It was so horribly inappropriate
' the recruiter recalls. 'To flaunt that with such a lack of sensitivity to professional decorum is very disquieting.'
