One thing that is mentioned in that link is this...

Look at your wall. Remove comments from your friends that seem distasteful. Since pictures can also be posted on your wall, I am also including them.

So it looks like I will have to adjust our privacy settings.

Oh absolutely about employment! I'm surprised that schools are not telling students about this, given some off the wall posts about facebook on here. Prospective employers will definitely try to find your posts on all social networking sites. And some employers will continue to watch after they hire you.

That is what I just did.

Just an FYI...

Privacy is an issue on Facebook, in general, but it's even more of an issue when you're job searching.
If you're not careful, everything you post on Facebook can be seen by your current employer or a prospective employer. Inopportune comments and/or inappropriate photos have cost job seekers offers and have caused employees to be fired.

Questions for the male and female members...

If you are the significant other, fiance or spouse of someone who did this, what would your reaction be? How would you feel about the entire situation?

If it is your page and you do not like the photo remove it or better yet, get off of facebook. Life will be much less stressful and you will have no concerns over photos others post.

As for privacy, there is none if you post on a social media site,everything I have is private, what you post is what's there

If an employer is not going to hire me because there is a picture of a woman with her hair covering her shirt strap....... then I'm fine with them not hiring me.

There's all kinds of pictures of me on FB, New Year's parties, drinking, dining with friends, having a few too many.... What does that say to an employer? That I have a social life?

Years back my daughter had some photos from a party where she is wearing a tube top. At one point she got right up into the camera with her arms up and a crazy expression on her face...and the bottom of the pic cut off JUST above her tube top. To the world it looked like she had nothing on...lol.

Depending upon the kind of work involved, some employers won't hire if people put pics of themselves on social network sites if its obvious they have been drinking too many. If you would be working with business executive clients, for example, they would be concerned that you would over do in front of them since you don't mind showing the world that you like to have a few too many. Just giving you some employer's thought processes.
