\"Sack<\/p>\n

Before You were Hired, You Were Googled!<\/strong><\/p>\n

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that a prospective employer will search your name on the Internet before hiring you.\u00a0 After all, the only thing a company may know about you is from your resume, and that only includes your work history and maybe a hobby or two.
\nTo get a better sense of what type of potential liability you may be, to other employees or the public, a look into your tweets, Facebook posts, and pictures may reveal more about you than you know.<\/p>\n

The main reason for the online investigation is because an employer who hires someone, is essentially taking responsibility for that employee and their actions while on the clock. If that person may injure another person or cause damages while on the clock, they are\u00a0putting the employer at risk of a lawsuit.<\/p>\n

If an employer does not do its due diligence in the hiring process, the employer could wind up in court fighting a negligent hiring lawsuit, because if an employer fails to properly investigate a potential employee, the employer may be responsible for the harm its negligently hired employee causes to any third party.<\/p>\n

As a rule of thumb, think before you post! Everything you put online could help or hurt your chances at the job, career and life you want. So before you boast online about smoking marijuana or post photos of you drinking copious amounts of alcohol, remember that it sends a clear message to the company you want to work for: I am reckless and I want the world to know it.<\/p>\n
