Social networking mistakes can really come back to haunt you when you’re job searching.

These are the folks who may seem nosy, at times, checking in on you about your future plans and calling to make sure you’re eating well and getting enough exercise! For the most part, they are well-meaning; in fact, they are your secret weapon when it comes to your job or internship search.
