I Can’t Believe They Said That on Twitter – Top 10 Background Check Posts

Unfortunately, people don’t really seem to care what they post to social media sites like Twitter, even when they are in the market for a job.  In a day in which social media is an open channel for employers or prospective employers to see what their employees or applicants are saying, one might think there would be more care taken about what is said.  This definitely is not the case.
