Lauren Miller of Hoboken was just quoted in an Associated Press article about being careful what’s in your on-line profile in groups like Facebook, MySpace, etc.
The story says, “At times, she wonders if a recruiter needs to know that she’s 36, single, and Jewish before she walks in the door for an interview.”
Well, maybe so, if that recruiter is a Jewish man in his thirties with a mother who’s nagging him to get married, but that’s beside the point!
Here is how the story starts off:
“Someone is trying to sabotage your career. It’s your online persona.
With smaller budgets and less staff to conduct interviews, companies are increasingly using social networking sites as a way to screen prospective hires.
That’s why Lauren Miller, who was laid off in October, is so vigilant over her Facebook profile. She watches for any photos friends might post showing her holding a drink. Off-color comments by anyone are immediately deleted.”
