In this short monologue, Shanli Liu, CPA, CTP warns that prospective employers do indeed review candidates' social media profiles and use them to gauge professionalism and cultural fit. She highlights three primary red‑flag behaviors: (1) an overabundance of selfies—especially gym, abs, or half‑naked images—which she interprets as ego‑centric and indicative of poor teamwork; (2) a complete lack of personal photos, which she assumes signals odd or potentially unsafe behavior; and (3) a “weekend warrior” posting pattern dominated by binge‑drinking, partying, and constant vacationing, suggesting a lack of work ethic. The overall message is that candidates should curate their online presence to avoid these negative signals.
