Graduates must be careful when posting their personal information on social websites. They must read their policy statements regarding the accessibility of their data. It can make or break a job offer because many employers are checking social networks as part of their screening process. You may never know if you were not given an interview because of your public profiles.
Why write a post-interview thank you or a rejection letter thank you?
 Both are important. Sending a thank you within 24 hours of an interview can help convince an employer to hire you. It demonstrates professionalism. Post rejection thank you letters also let the employer know you are disappointed,but still interested in the position if it becomes available again.
