Article on Facebook for Job Seekers

My son suggested that I read the following article regarding Facebook for job seekers. Check out the link: http://www.openforum.com/idea-hub/topics/the-world/article/how-to-go-on-the-offensive-with-facebook-guy-kawasaki

We have had several discussions and I have been researching the use of Facebook by other recruiters and as a recruiter myself. This article puts a spin on the use of Social Networking, suggesting ways to play up traits that job seekers want to promote to potential recruiters.
I do think that more companies and recruiters are going to social networking sites to attract potential candidates, and many are checking out the social profiles to get a true picture of the potential candidate.

My advice is to be careful about what you post on Facebook or other social networking sites. It is never good to publicly post negative information about your current or past job, employer, or supervisor - even one of your "friends" could misuse that information, and that type of communication is a negative reflection on you. I feel that you should allow the world to see a general public profile on you, but keep the personal info, pictures, etc., "private", realizing that any posting on the internet is never completely private.
