Considers the ongoing debate as to whether social networking sites are fair game in the interviewing and application processes. Invasion of privacy? You decide!
As the above comments state, any information that is posted on websites like Facebook and Myspace are basically available to the public. Because of this, you should refrain from posting anything that may compromise your character and, thus, prevent you from getting a particular job. It is important for an employer to higher the best person for a job, and this may mean using resources like these websites.
This is an interesting perspective on a very modern issue. Most people don't think about future implications of the content of their social networking pages. I think you can convince many people that the information you put on a facebook account is "public domain" and therefore fair game for employers in a job search. Very well done.
The debate about Facebook privacy is interesting. As a former student and a work professional, I have researched candidates via social networking sites. It's my opinion that if you decided to share information via Facebook or Myspace, then you have acknowledged that this information is public. People should use discretion and make smart choices about the kind of persona they want to give off.
