You Might Not Get the Job if….You Post Things Like This on Twitter!

I see it all the time on Twitter. “Is yall hiring?”

While that may not be “offensive” per se, it certainly indicates poor grammar skills which may not be so attractive to a potential employer scanning Twitter.

If you think that’s bad though, get a load of what I found in just a short period of tweet time yesterday. I did a basic search for “hiring” and came up with some doozies (warning: strong language ahead!). I’m not sure what ANY of these people are thinking. Yes, these are REAL tweets – names have been removed to protect the stupid. I’ve also added my editorial comments for fun educational purposes.

I felt it was important to mention that I’m not being discriminatory – these tweets came from men and women of various ethnicity – including “white”.

“moar job plz. anyone know someone hiring?” – What kind of job?? Define “Moar”.

“KINDA IN A LOUSY MOOD. WUZ STUNNED WIT NEWS 2DAY….BUT FUKK ALL DAT. WHO HIRING??” – What NOT to do in your job search

“Holy fuck NOONE is hiring anymore. Does the economy really suck THAT bad?” – I’m thinking it’s not the economy that’s the problem here…

“wabbly ass!lol I would try to but ion kno.. What they hiring for?.. anything I guess a lot of folks been leavINg” – What language is this?

“NEEDA JOB. WHO HIRING??” – Not me!

“u kno anyone else who’s hiring cause I’m tryin to leave this hell hole” – Probably not the best exit strategy…

“I NEEDA JOB , DEY HIRING ??” – I’m guessing probably not you!

“thats the bes sushi place ever. u fuckers hiring?” – So much wrong, so little time….

“need to find a job everytime i kall a place they say we not hiring damn” – Really? I can’t imagine why.

I could find hundreds of more examples every few minutes. Let this be a lesson to those of you out there who think that employers aren’t looking for you on social networks. What you tweet can (and probably will be) used against you!
