The Price of Social Networking

By Michael Fitzgibbon

ADVERTISEMENTS
Do employers check social networking sites before hiring?  PC World reports what we all suspected .... Employers Admit Checking Facebook Before Hiring.  Your kidding?  Really?   According to a Globe and Mail article entitled Faceless no more: Social networking comes with a price:

"Canadians are embracing social media sites at a breakneck pace. According to the most recent data from comScore Inc., nearly 17 million Canadians have a Facebook profile, 4.5 million are on MySpace, 14.5 million visit YouTube every month, 3.6 million upload photos to the sharing site Flickr.com. Social networkers use these resources to help shape their identity, essentially branding themselves and broadcasting their public image around the world."

Read the Globe article.  Your on-line footprint will affect your future.  Employers are onto it, and people should choose their words and what they post carefully.
