FACEBOOK DO’S AND DON’T’S

Have an appropriate looking profile pic (doesn’t have to be in a suit – but keep it clean)

Keep it clean – you never know who is friends with

your friends

CHECK YOUR PRIVACY SETTINGS!! Whenever FB implements huge changes, your privacy

settings can change

Let people know that you are looking for a job. Friends are more willing to help you than anyone else!
