"In a career sense, it can really impact your brand," career coach Hallie Crawford noted.
Researchers at the University of Georgia are determining why people take selfies, 'WTOC-TV' reported.
"There seems to be two big motives. One is narcissism, which is doing stuff to get attention from people. To look better than you are," said psychology professor W Keith Campbell.
According to career counsellors, employers who visit social media sites of potential job seekers will likely use those selfies to determine whom to hire.
"[Employers may wonder] do you get the line between private versus public and might you share something about their company if you worked there that was inappropriate?" said Crawford.
