An earlier commenter said that she had no presence 'on the web' other than social space like My Space. LinkidIn and others may be a place to give positive impression of individuals on the internet but for many people the social media is their downfall. Especially the twentysomethings and teenagers. Any casual look over many of the social media sites will show a plethora of comments that would shock most mothers. As someone who uses many tools to assess candidates I always do a web search on individuals and look for social media accounts specifically. Perpetual use of bad language, description of drunken nights out (and even pictures!) and many extremely personal situations revealed to all and sundry are a sure show stopper for many candidates. I don't think there is a real understanding of just how damaging social media sites can be. They are treated like private diaries but the reality is that many managers are very internet savvy and it is not hard to find peoples full details and reverse engineer into social media and other accounts.

People hate insincerity, and Bush and other politicians reek of insincerity. Their refusal to honestly answer questions and give only their rehearsed, stonewalling answers is one of the primary reasons.

If I were to asks someone a question and he gives a stock answer that refuses to address the question, it only makes me angry. Do I want to hire someone who won't be honest with me?

People can smell insincerity. Being sincere doesn't mean giving everything away, but it does mean believing in what you say.
