A word of warning to job hunters about to upload partying pics to Facebook: don't.
Results
from a new survey commissioned by online job site, CareerBuilder.com,
found 22 percent of 3,169 U.S.-based hiring managers screen potential
employees via social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace.
In fact, the number of hiring managers who visit a prospect's
profile page has doubled since 2006, when 11 percent of those surveyed
admitted to peeking at someone's social networking profile before
hiring them.
The concern is seeing unprofessional or inappropriate behaviour, such as excessive drinking, drug use or promiscuity.
The survey also found 34 percent of the managers who do screen
candidates did indeed find content that made them drop the candidate as
a consideration for the job.
So, what kind of pics do YOU have on your Facebook profile page?
