More and more these days employers are logging onto social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace to conduct "mini" background checks on potential employees - namely, students and recent grads. Furthermore, many may be making hiring decisions based solely on what they see and read.

If you don't want something to get out, don't put it on the Internet!

I absolutely believe that if you make your information public knowledge- then it is just that PUBLIC knowledge. But I do have one question: when an employer goes on say, facebook, to check a potential employee out- if your profile is limited to only friends- don't they have to request your friendship to even see your profile? Or do companies have a way of getting around this?

If you put yourself out there, real name and all, then you're fair game.
