Reading a post on AllFacebook about Career Builder working with Facebook “to help clients run job recruiting through the site”, it reinforced for me the importance of what you put on your social network member pages.

Are you looking for a position as a Project Leader? Then put that in your profile page. Headhunters and employment firms search through social networks, keying in job descriptions.

AND, this may be obvious, but it seems it isn’t; whatever you put on the web, people are going to find it. It doesn’t matter if its somehow password protected or viewable by friends only.

A friend recently told me of interviewing a prospective employee, the interview went well, but after checking their Facebook page, the prospect was not offered a job.
