It’s never a good idea to alienate people or intentionally ruin one’s reputation, whether in your personal or professional life – offline or online. With 802 million daily active users and 602 million mobile daily active users on average in March 2014, there is no doubt in my mind that Facebook is a very popular social media site for connecting with friends, joining Groups in a more informal ambiance than LinkedIn.

Quite clearly if you are in the job market looking for employment, know that your social media activity can be an important factor in landing a coveted job position.

Here’s my take on 8 ways one can actually create the wrong impression while engaging on Facebook.  Enjoy!
