Job Hunters

With the growing popularity of online social networking sites such as Facebook.com and myspace.com where anyone can develop an online profile I guess it is no surprise that employers have jumped on the bandwagon and started screening potential employees by looking at their online profiles. What is interesting however is how much leverage someone’s online profile can have on whether or not they receive a job. Many people argue that it is an invasion of privacy and an unreliable source for employers to judge them based on their myspace or facebook page, but non the less more and more employers uses these sites as a source to know more about a potential employee which makes it even more important to monitor what you post on your page.
