The best advice to I can give is to don’t say anything that you wouldn’t say in front of that person/company.
1. Friending your manager on Facebook and then complaining about your job.
2. Putting your personal brand in front of your company’s brand.
3. Complaining that your company blocks social networking sites.
4. Attracting the wrong attention to your company’s brand because of your own.
5. Announcing your new job on Twitter when you’re still employed.
6. Thinking you’re superior to older workers because you’re tech literate.
7. Wearing rags to work because it’s part of your brand.
8. Posting inappropriate photos on Facebook, forgetting that your profile is public.
9. Spending more time on yourself than being productive during work hours.
