The only reason to post pictures of yourself in a pool, or in a bathing suit at all, is to show off your body. It's incredibly unprofessional.

Being out with friends is similarly unprofessional. Certain situations are acceptable but anything that shows you with an alcoholic drink in your hand is not ok.

No one wants to see you playing games or watching movies, but either way, not professional. Having an interest in things like that shows a lack of drive.

I'm just as lazy and unprofessional as anyone out there but you do need to curate the image you put forth on social media, especially when you're job hunting. I cannot tell you how many times my company has decided not to hire/promote someone based on the things they post online.

And thats dumb. And I hope I never work at a place that doesnt like me living my life. I also dont agree. I take pictures when Im in a bathing suit. Usually, its with friends, or someone taking picture while were playing the pool. Or sometimes relaxing in the hot tub. But its not to show off our bodies. Its just us in the pool or hot tub.

I also dont think pictures of people playing games in unprofessional, either. My cousin found a bunch of pictures of his friends and cousins playing games at his house for a party. Because the families are always taking pictures of us. I wouldnt say its unprofessional. Its life.

I can understand while holding a drink might look bad. But Its also shouldnt end someones life, either. Especially since it could have been a party. Not to mention, it could be a virgin drink. And you can be tagged in stuff without you knowing.

Personally, I would do stuff differently if I hired people. To actually hire people based on what they can do instead of social media, unless that was also part of their job...
