Internet slang
◦ Internet slang (also called Internet shorthand, cyber-slang, netspeak, digispeak or chatspeak)
is a non-standard or unofficial form of language used by people on the Internet to
communicate to one another
◦ An example of Internet slang is “LOL” meaning “laugh out loud”. Since Internet slang is
constantly changing, it is difficult to provide a standardized definition.
◦ However, it can be understood to be any type of slang that Internet users have popularized,
and in many cases, have coined. Such terms often originate with the purpose of
saving keystrokes or to compensate for small character limits. Many people use the
same abbreviations in texting, instant messaging, and social networking
websites. Acronyms, keyboard symbols, and abbreviations are common types of Internet slang.
New dialects of slang, such as leet or Lolspeak, develop as ingroup internet memesrather than
time savers. Many people use internet slang not only on the Internet but also face-to-face.

Do’s
◦ Do be visible and add value: Be active in relevant member groups, forums and associations. Have a
targeted list of companies and accordingly expand your network and connections to be recognized by
industry associates. Creating a concise profile online is important for recruiters to find them in their
searches, however, “Job prospects should never say that they are looking for a job on their profile and
status update, as that gives a desperate impression to hiring managers and recruiters and often is a
turnoff,” says Porfilio. Add value by posting useful links or just comments that offer some information
that will help establish a candidate as someone who knows things about their niche and area of
expertise.

◦ Do get valuable recommendations:getting recommendations from former employers and current

supervisors is always good, says Massa. But candidates should also go outside their organizations to
seek valuable recommendations and get endorsed by clients, business partners and leaders that carry
weight.
Do’s
◦ Do be selective: Be careful with what information needs to be posted – where you decide to post the
information and how public you make it, says Fiterman. A good practice is to restrict posting personal
information that may not be relevant to professional career growth and development. Emphasis should be
placed on showcasing expertise and skill set and work-related activities, including speaking
engagements, articles and papers published and core strengths.

◦ Do Create an Online Image: ”Creating a powerful online brand is what will truly distinguish
candidates,” says Massa. You need to invest in developing an online personality which will clearly set
you apart from your peers.
Don’t’s
◦ Don’t badmouth your current or previous employer: Be careful and not gripe about their current or past
employers in your online profiles. This usually reflects badly on the candidate and results in tarnishing
their own image in the eyes of hiring managers and recruiters. Also, if you are currently employed, keep
in mind any confidentiality and conduct agreements you may have signed to ensure you are not violating
any terms.

◦ Don’t let out personal information in public: Tweet/chat/discuss regarding business and the emerging
trends in their industry, but limit posting information on your personal life – which can be a subject of
major scrutiny by recruiters and hiring managers. “My hiring decision will definitely be influenced in
learning that a candidate is involved in playing cards as a hobby and is a member of any affiliated
association,” says Stevens.
Dont’s
◦ Don’t use inappropriate language and photos: most often candidates’ use of language and choice of
photographs posted are reasons for ticking off recruiters, says Stevens. You need to ensure that
information posted is written professionally without use of swear words and catchy phrases. Also, be very
selective in posting photographs and use your judgment to ensure that these photographs are how you
want the public to see you.
