Q: What gets thousands of people fired every year and prevents people from getting jobs they want?

A: Inappropriate content online.

To make sure your web presence is helping, not hurting you, check out James DeVile’s recent article at TechRadar: Make an Online Profile to Get You Hired not Fired (how to promote your skills and hide your ills).

Right on, James. The future of hiring undeniably exists on the web. Check out the 5-part article for tips to effectively use social networks to control your personal brand online.
