Indeed. It is now a common thing for recruiters and agencies to view MySpace and Facebook pages for all potential new hires. I got the memo years ago. Its funny that people STILL haven't learned. Shirley's last blog post..Firefox 2 on Mac: jQuery Anti-Aliasing/Opacity Bug

Personnel agencies are regularly checking facebook profiles whilst vetting candidates, and I’ve come across several articles with horror stories already! The bottom line is to be as circumspect as possible, and to remeber that “Loose Lips Sink Ships!”

lol…lol…You just had a post the other month about someone getting fired from a Facebook page or something. I think they were making fun of Clinton or something if I remember correctly.

Good Laugh, but, as with most of the sensible commentators out there, we should all simply ensure that what we put into the very public domain that is the Web, is stuff that we are happy to have known by everyone. I think the protection of corporate reputation is one of the reasons that people are being checked out on line with more regularity. I also think that some folks are simply nosey and figure that "googling" someone is a good thing to do. PS First time reader (came via google search!)

This is why I don't put anything on facebook or youtube. People put way too much information out of the web for people to see. Patrick's last blog post..Great Deal on Eco Friendly Wood Products

I must say I read lots on peoples facebook accounts that I would never want to tell anybody never mind half the world. It is silly of people to put some incriminating thing on sites like that

I don’t agree with Kevin fro UTAH SEO Blog, while I do agree with Paul Hi8.
Our profile is personal, and we shouldn’t allow strangers access to our blog.

I don’t think it’s ok that people share their personal stuff on Facebook, they need to separate their professional life from their personal life. We don’t to afraid to share our personal life.

Personally I think that anyone who chooses to share too much of their personal life with the millions on Facebook pretty much deserves whatever misfortune such action earns them. Really guys, it’s called a “PERSONAL life” for a reason..

I’ve heard issues with the same name deal before and that’s why I’d like to think the companies would come to you before making a decision based upon what they find. Get some strong facts about the evidence you see before using it.

I've learned to keep seperate personal and professional accounts. I'm generally not posting anything wild but I'm sure business contacts don't care about my politics or that I'm eating pie in my jammies or want to be flooded with pics of my kids.

There seems to be a balancing act that we all have to follow. I don't want to come across as a crazy lush, but I also don't want to come across as a teetotaling leave-it-to-beaver kind of gal. That's just not honest. This is a weird analogy, but I think of my online reputation the same way I looked at selling cars online, which I used to do. When I sold cars on eBay, I wanted the buyer to say, "Cool, that's exactly what I expected" when they picked it up. I made it look good because it brought them to us, but I didn't want to oversell it and thus risk a negative feedback. It is the little details about someone, the fact that they are NOT perfect, which makes them believable and approachable.
