This issue of businesses using Facebook and other social media as a way to get to know who they are employing has 2 sides. You either think its wrong for them to view your profile or you think it is the persons fault for posting stuff they do not want an employer to see. I personally think companies should refrain from using Facebook as a hiring tool unless they really need it. I do think if it is between two people for a job and they are almost identical then you can look at their Facebook's. If one kid is dumb enough to post a bunch of pictures of him drinking and the other kid doesn't have those pictures then he is definitely going to get the job. If you think about it from a companies perspective they are paying you for your work and they are looking for the best worker possible. They can and will look at everything to determine if your the best and that is all there is to it. If your a kid just keep your drinking pictures in your phone to show people you don't have to post them online knowing your going to be looked at in a couple of years for a job to start your career.

I like this post, only thing I disagree with is, I do believe companies should be able to check your Facebook. Companies have an image, especially if its a more prestigious company they want to make sure all their employees are reliable and trust worthy. I do in fact though believe only certain companies should. For example I do not believe McDonalds, Burger king or any other food establishment should check your social media profiles to see how you are, as you are only trying to have a job to make some sort of money. In the end it's all about opinion and if you don't want there to be a problem, be careful with what you post.
