Foolish Facebook Entries

When thinking about your future, has it ever occurred to anybody that all the party photo's and obnoxious body part grabs will follow you forever? The Facebook and Myspace photo's have cost many people that I know, the job they really wanted. An example would be two girls up for the same job. The employer does a search on both of these social sights. He sees his future employee with a bottle of vodka to her mouth and surrounded by a bunch of studs. He realizes that this girl is not for his company. First, she looks like a tramp and secondly, she looks like an alcoholic. He comes to the conclusion that the second girl had a clean search on Myspace and Facebook, and must be a better employee to hire. Employers are doing searches on past behavior and your credit history. You have to authorize the credit history information, but not the Facebook and Myspace stuff. Our privacy is a thing of the past. This is a harsh reality with camera's on almost every corner, every parking lot , and mall too. But, you have control over the impression that future employers will have of you. Looking cute on the sight is fine. Looking trashy will surely NOT get you the job!
