Just Plain Ruff Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I was perusing facebook tonight and I looked at a member of this site's photo album. That member will remain anonymous but.... There was a very questionable photo on their facebook photo album. If I was a personnel manager I would put this person on a do not hire list based on that photo alone but the other photos were of this person obviously on their 21'st birthday. I know that people want to be free in expressing themselves to the world but the photo bordered on the pornographic. At a previous employer, clients would get our names and then go to our myspace, or our facebook pages and if they did not like what they saw they would refuse to bring us into their organization. I know of two people who were let go from my previous company based on their myspace pages. One client actually said that they didn't hire a consultant because of the myspace page. This client who didn't hire the person from a consulting company cost that consulting company over 250K for a one year contract. Your profiles are looked at. They are scrutinized by companies and this is an easy way to either make or break your entrance into a particular company. This is a warning and a heads up. It just seems that some people don't get it. I'm ranting and raving and my blood sugar is about 260 right now so I better just stop. take this warning however you want to take it.

ERDoc Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Sorry about that. The hermaphroditic midget said that it wouldn't be a problem. I'll have to take it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spenac Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Ruff why are you surfing for porn? J/K. I have no idea why people have not figured out that posting photos of some things can come back to bite them in the rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krysteen Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Obviously this person is not very smart, or just does not care. There is a way to let only your friends see your page. Does not need to be displayed publicly to the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does not need to be displayed publicly to the world. But even that is not fool proof. Whats to say a friend that gets mad won't post the nude picture in public? Best policy is not to post porn or drug use if you want a career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
