:5 WAYS TO ENSURE YOU NEVER GET HIRED 1 DIGITAL DIRT You may have "digital dirt" lying all over the Internet- things like self-incriminating photos, discussion of your drug-induced night out at the club, etc. Make the dirt as dirty as possible, soiling all the major networks - Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc. 2 TERRIBLE TROLL $#@%!
