If you think Facebook and Myspace are fun
 

think again!

Most companies now use Facebook, Myspace, and Google as HR tools. (that's Human Resources).
Looking to hire someone? Google, Facebook, and Myspace checks are easy ways to find out if you are an internet badboy. :winkwink:

Too many people put too much personal info on those things.

no worries. i will never work anywhere with an HR dept.

Chris are you myspacing me again?

there can never be enough info posted

I always check out new hires on facebook. You can tell a lot about someone from their profile.

what if their profile set to private ?

exactly, thank u airek

Facebook profiles are all private - you have to add people as friends before they can see inside your profile. no?

Hey Chris, I was going to hire Little Liana as assistant for church services here in my town but found her myspace page.... no no, bad girl...LOL

Well makes you wonder what private profiles are all about?

First I would never want to work for a company that uses a personal myspace or facebook page to judge my ability to perform at a job.

Second, my settings are private and I dont approve anyone I dont know.

Third, LINKED IN, a great place to have HRT people find out what I am capable of!

Facebook sucks...Most people are so dumb, that they put almsot their LIFE in facebook.. any idiot can grab all their information easily

Anyway, Facebook is financed by the CIA, and it's one great way to "trick" people around the globe and grab all their info. CIA has a special account to access the information, emails, etc of anyone they want in facebook.

Never ever write your name, info, what you do, in the internet... Information is power, and you are giving a lot of your power away for free. Only the government should have that info.

I have it so I can keep an eye on my 17 year old daughter's profiles!

I'm addicted to the gangster battle application.

Wars Won: 563

As long as they don't check out my GFY postings...I am cool.

I only hire people with locospot.com profiles. :thumbsup

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Anyway I would never ever again work for any company OUT of adult :thumbsup

No its an option - great place for would be identity thief's

Same here.
:2 cents:

Then I can see who their friends are and check their profiles ;)

I read about that, its very fucked up.Ones personal life( as long as its not self destructive) is no ones business.

yeah man even 3-4 years ago before hiring i'd have staff look up their addy or use rapleaf to search on them...it was shocking what came up. it was cool when you find out a new admin is bisexual and goes to swingers clubs and also not cool when you find out your new hire blogs about hating work and wanting to kill his former boss :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

yeah it shouldn't be anyones biz but its a valuable tool for business owners to verify information esp. with entry level hires

Must be fun employing Indians who put up all those fake profiles. :2 cents:

yeah police officers etc can't have myspace pages either..the whole guilty by association thing. Altho both my sisters have it but they use aliases.

No fake profile there :thumbsup

yep its true, gotta be careful, unless of course like A1R3K you "will never work anywhere with an HR dept." hahah

Shit! I will take their info, I built apps on both myspace and facebook, just to load my social network using open social.
