PSA: Be Careful When Using Facebook!


If you love facebook like I do then you're probably on it all the time, updating your profile pic, changing your status, putting up silly pics of you and your friends, and basically doing what us facebook lovers do!


The numbers are increasing for hiring managers to check out Facebook to see what you put for the world to see, and a whopping 34% of managers found content that made them decide NOT to hire a candidate.

If that's not enough to scare you, remember what happened to Miss France’s and other "celebs" who have lost their chances at winning due to inappropriate photographs being circulated on the web. We can't forget the young woman from Jersey either who had what I would say were pretty mild pics on facebook.

Remember the internet is such a small world and with one little click your photos can be copied and sent everywhere!

Make sure to GOOGLE wisely too!! This new ZIGGS website will let you see every time someone Googles your name. Eek.Handy for businesses who are looking to check who is actually Googling them.


Sort of stalkerish...but uh I like it:)
