Social Networks and Your Job Search Facebook. MySpace. Sure - they are a great way to keep in touch with friends, share pictures & funny stories, but do you really know who is viewing your profile? Over the past few months, there have been an increasing number of articles appearing about on-line networks. Even at the Wisconsin Association of Colleges and Employers (WI-ACE) May conference, career counselors shared stories about employers that have searched these sites. One unknowing student had written a blog about "annoying customers" on her MySpace account. A few days later, she was dismissed from her position because the employer had seen it. According to a survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers, more than one quarter (26.9%) of employers surveyed have Googled or gone on social network sites to search for candidates. Whether you agree with this tactic or not, the fact is, it's public information. Here are some recent articles about social networking sites with advice how to protect yourself.
