Apparently, employers these days aren't just concerned with your qualifications, degree and relevant experience. They're also quite interested to find out whether you're a pain in the ass. Or, put another way, "in this bloggable, cell phone camera world, your brand on the inside is going to be your brand on the outside. If you have a bunch of jerks, your brand is going to be a jerk."

Of course, the system isn't full-proof, and a few less than desirable coworkers always seem to slip through the cracks. Which is to say, every office has its requisite jerk. So look around you. Can't figure out who that person is? Then it's probably you. [CNN]
