Save Your Facebook

Isn't Facebook fantastic?

Where else can you connect with long lost friends, and relatives.

Where else can you post your memorable pictures for all to see.

You know.. going to the farm with your kids. Or, your team photo from your women's hockey league championships.

Or, the shots of you and your buddies wasted last Saturday night, proud of your pile of empty Molson Cans..

Isn't it great that employers are now using Facebook and MySpace to screen potential employees.

Isn't it great that they can stumble upon your profile, and have a great look at those wild party pictures.

According to an article in the Globe and Mail:

"Organizations are looking for new avenues ... such as LinkedIn and Facebook, and these sources are emerging as a new stealth tool to help recruiters cast a wider net in identifying new talent,"

Yes, in these days of immediate information, that wild time on the weekend can ultimately cost your future career opportunities.

Are we advocating you tame down your life, not for a moment. All we're pointing out that your value to an organization can be downgraded based on some poorly timed uploads.
