The use of "text" talk and lack of grammar is one thing that would deter me from hiring someone. If you are too lazy to type out please and thank you then well, I would find you are too lazy to work. I understand that texting can be a pain and many are posting from their phones but, this is a place to present yourself for hire, make sure you present yourself as someone who is worth hiring. I wouldn't hire someone to work in my office if they either couldn't spell simple words like clothes. Yes I've seen people spell clothes as close. That is a grade school word and well if you don't know how to spell it, look it up.
The thing that has been bothering me the most is how people are using these sites to ask for help. Granted we all need help from time to time but using a site where people are looking for work or businesses are looking for someone to employ is not the place to ask for things such as food, clothes etc while also asking for a job. You would not walk into a job interview and ask for them to give you food and shelter.
Social media is the world we live in today and it is a great tool for many things. It is a helpful way for people to look for a job and a way for employers to weed through prospective employees. So with this in mind, remember that you are selling yourself to the employers by putting yourself out there. Don't present yourself as a hardship case, don't present yourself as ignorant and don't present yourself as vulgar. Present yourself as someone they would deem as a beneficial addition to their business.
