Companies surveys blogs for Recruitment

An article on New York Times have a very good article about this trend.

At Facebook, a popular social networking site, the executive found the candidate's Web page with this description of his interests: "smokin' blunts" (cigars hollowed out and stuffed with marijuana), shooting people and obsessive sex, all described in vivid slang. It did not matter that the student was clearly posturing. He was done.

I know of a few friends who was hired by their company because of their blogs or personal social networking online profiles.

Come on, if a company were to hire reliable worker an extensive background study has to be made. Isn't it? Looking through whatever is available online is just (honestly) very brief and basic.

So people, be careful of how you express yourself online.

Maybe Abby may want to add this to her research project.
