Last weekend was, in your friends' opinions, the best ever and it was hilarious when you fell asleep drunk, danced on the table or jumped fully-clothed into the neighbor's swimming pool. However, even if you have a great sense of humor, you may want to get any incriminating photographs off Facebook as soon as your hangover clears up.
According to a new survey by CareerBuilder, job seekers should realize that potential employers are finding ways to learn the real truth about their candidates who come in dressed up and claim to be polished Harvard graduates.
Hiring managers certainly do their research, for 53 percent of respondents found inappropriate photographs or information about their interviewee on a social network. A further 44 percent of employers also saw that candidates had content on their pages of them drinking or doing drugs.
On the flip side, those who set up clean Facebook pages actually helped their job prospects, for 50 percent of hiring managers said that the job seeker's page helped them gain a better understanding of the individual.
