Tell the truth: Has an online post or tweet come back to bite you-or someone you know-professionally? Click here to answer our survey.

Why do we ask? Forget fretting over friend requests-what you post on social networks could get your job application rejected.

Think about that the next time you Tweet or upload photos from a bachelorette party.
