And that is why I'm not on Facebook or MySpace. The last thing I need is for my employer to find something they don't like in my online profile and use it against me.
I've viewed MySpace profiles for friends and sorority sisters and I just have to shake my head sometimes. There's pictures of them throwing up over a toilet after a long night of partying, pictures of them passed out on a bar, pictures of them with a joint in their hand, blog entries about them getting completely wasted the night before and "getting wasted" being listed as one of their interests.
Now, those who know me know I certainly like to go out and have my fair share of drinks but I try to keep the incriminating evidence to a bare minimum. It's so easy to look up someone's MySpace profile. Type their name into the search function and their profile comes up. I dunno...I just wouldn't want my boss to see a picture of me drunk and dancing on top of a bar. Yet, so many of my friends have pictures of themselves like that on MySpace. These are friends that have full-time jobs or are currently looking for one.
I just wouldn't want what I have on my MySpace profile to keep me from getting a job or get me fired.
