This recent article http://www.artslondonnews.com/2012/11/22/dont-be-a-tweet-you-might-regret-it/ in UALs artslondonnews.com paper is very relevant to the debate we are having above, its great to see these issues being discussed here in our student run newspaper:
"When recruiting for a new job, companies usually use credit checks to find out about a potential employee’s background.
However, social media has become an effective new tool to get to know a prospective member of staff on a personal level.
It has become common knowledge that employers are checking potential employee’s social networking pages to decide whether or not they make for suitable candidates for the company – meaning that one inappropriate status update or photo could mean the difference between success and failure."
