PSA for those seeking (and who might ever be seeking) employment

[zpdiduda]

NPR reported today that surveys show that 1 out of 5 employers look up job applicants on Facebook. Most common reason given: "to see if the potential employee will fit in well with the company".

Friends-lock your posts. And if your public Facebook profile (or LJ profile, for that matter) says that you worship Satan and SpongeBob Squarepants and that you are proud of your vast collection of bunny floggers, you might want to consider changing it.
