According to new figures released by Microsoft, the computer firm, Facebook and Twitter checks are now as important in the job selection process as a CV or interview.

A study found that seven in 10 employers now research candidates online.

On the other side, a strong image online could actually help job hunters to land their dream job.

The survey, which questioned human resource managers at the top 100 companies in the UK, US, Germany and France, found that 70 per cent admitted to rejecting a candidate because of their online behavior.

Peter Cullen, of Microsoft, said: “Your online reputation is not something to be scared of; it’s something to be proactively managed.

So ladies, be clever like you always are and take care about your online reputation. Always think in advance about what you can get or loose with your content.

Personally I don’t like such a manner of assessment and if you want condemning. It says more about those “HR experts” than about the people who are active in Social networking. Are they able to evaluate candidates without interfering in their private life?

You remember the Facebook homepage?
Facebook helps you to connect and share with the people in your life.

They didn’t write: with your current or future boss, with HR agency…

What can we expect in the future? When they are going to visit us in our homes to check our household management skills? Or, maybe what kind of coworker we are:

• We are washing dishes alone – Individualist,
• We are doing that with our family member – Team player, or
• We just delegate that to our housemaid – Manager.

What about Stress management in our homes?
What tools and stress management techniques we use to help ourselves to understand and manage stress? What kind of stresses we have? 

• The long-term stress (you didn’t have sex more than a year…),
• The short-term stress (you didn’t have sex a week…)

Or Stakeholder Management :
Do you know to recognize who your stakeholders are? Your parents in your “free babysitting” project, for example? How to win their support? And finally, do you use the stakeholder planning tool to plan how you will communicate with them? 

Then, Time management? 

Understand the priorities and focus on them:

1. Pick up the children from school
2. Prepare lunch
3. Wash the dishes
4. Do your laundry
5. Help your children with their homeworks
6. Prepare dinner
7. Wash the dishes
8. Have sex (if you have any energy for that after all…)
9. Time for yourself – no time!  

Dismissed!
