Blog Post: Employers Use "Facebook" and "MySpace" to Weed Out Applicants

Social networking sites have gained popularity among hiring managers because of their convenience and a growing anxiety about hiring the right people, researchers say. Job candidates who maintain personal sites on Facebook or MySpace are learning though - sometimes the hard way - that the image they present to their friends on the Internet may not be best suited for landing the position they're seeking.

So if you are out there searching for a job, the best protection here is common sense; using the site's privacy controls so profiles aren't open to everyone.   Content you put online for friends is likely very different from content you would put on the web for your future employer.  Think before you make your next posting; it could be the difference of a yes or no in your job search.
