My buddy is an attorney and he uses FB regularly to collect information on the parties involved in the suit.

So true on that.. we check potential clients and other parties involved. You would be surprised what people put on there.

It's as if you were in public making a declaration in front of many witnesses about murder...

real easy...

Set everything to friends only...

Do NOT Add workplace persons to your friends lists

Do not add people you do not know as friends. I don't care how popular you want to seem.

Most HR people I know check the majority of social media websites right after reading your resume (if they are interested). Remember that even if you don't have your name in those media sites they can still track you via email, which is inevitably on your resume.

Yep.. and I personally know of a few who have not received calls back.

That being said.. the internet is forever. Those pictures of you with a bong in college... Yep.. they can be found.
