Today a lot of employers are using social network sites to find employees to offer job opportunities or either to find some dirt on them. I agree with this to a certain extint. I feel if one wants to act professional and apply for a profession then the employer has the right to search their name on the internet and see if anything insulting or ignorant appears. Nobody wants to hire someone who won't be able to represent there company in a professional way to the best of their abilities. You shouldn't be mad about an employer going through your facebook if you have nothing immature on there. Don't post anything on the internet unless you want everyone in the world to know. On the other hand as far as using the site to offer job opportunities I feel isn't the best way to go about it. I understand everything is about technology now but since when are jobs handed to someone from a social network most people use to communicate with there friends. Nothing is ever worth it if you don't have to work for it. Call me old fashion but I feel people should still go out and apply for jobs and go through an interview process the normal way. Now other sites such as the new one called "Google Plus" or "LinkedIn" maybe these would be better sites to offer people jobs on without have to judge them for unprofessional behavior. “Others note that while LinkedIn contains a more comprehensive résumé database, candidates tend to value referrals from their connections on Facebook more.” I can understand why employers would still want to use facebook over a professional site. That is where everyone posts all their dirty work and like I said no one wants to hire someone that can't be the face of the company with confidence. So please keep your drunken photos, and vulgar comments off of facebook people it may ruin your chances at ever having a serious profession.
