Social Networking??

A friend of mine asked me if my clients check out their candidates on Facebook before making a hire. Honestly, I do not have a solid answer to that. Most people do have Facebook set up so no one can enter without their permission but we all know there are tons of ways to break down electronic firewalls! My recommendation is do not mix business and pleasure. Use sites like Facebook and MySpace for fun only. Maintain profiles on LinkedIn, Plaxo, etc. for professional purposes. Getting back to Facebook for a moment, keep it clean and mature because you never know who might drop in for a visit!
