You might have had a terrible time at your previous job,
but do not express your anger/unhappiness online.
If you do, future employers & recruiters will avoid you.

who might have violent tendencies and be a danger to
his colleagues/clients/vendors.
Please delete if these are there on your wall.

8. No porn/obscene matter: The moment a recruiter or

employer sees porn or any obscene matter, you can forget
about that job you applied for.

religious abusive language on your wall.
While it is good to have a political opinion, being abusive towards
those with other political/religious beliefs is going to be detrimental
towards your job search
Please watch your language and

10. Unfriend the “friend” who shows you in a bad light.

If you have friends who post violent or porn content of any
such content, and worse, tag you on those…and if you are
serious about getting a good job in a good organisation,
make sure you unfriend them.

from your friends.
