As media savvy students, we are all well aware of the networking capabilities of social media. You can use Twitter to find a job posting, Facebook to connect with people in that network, and Linkedin to provide them with your online resume. With all of this online presence, however, how much of a footprint are you leaving?
This article below describes how many companies are now conducting social media background checks. We have discussed this in class (Professor Kumar's topless nurse) and Groundswell addresses it too. In our era of a strong social media presence, we have to be aware of what we are saying, posting, and even who we have associated with us.
Perhaps we all have a friend who likes to post about bringe drinking an illicit drug use. Not only do we have to be cautious of what we say, but being associated with someone who posts bad things reflects poorly on us as well.
