I was reading an article recently about how many employers now ask about social networking sites while interviewing. The two most popular questions asked of applicants were:
Do you belong to a social or public networking site?
Have you made or authorized any other public internet postings during the past year of your name, image, or commentary? Do you have any concerns about the impact of these postings on your potential employers?
I know someone who was fired for using his work email address to post a comment on a news article. I don't blame the employer at all, and it just goes to show that we need to be careful with what information we put out there.
