Good article. I agree with you on many points and professionally I use Facebook all the time. I work in an alumni office and am partially responsible for both marketing, communication and the facilitation of our young alumni program. So Facebook is a great way for us to stay connected with both our current students and our more recent alumni (and older ones who have the courage to try out new technology). It’s also been a great way for us to promote various causes we are running and even keep up with alumni news.

No, I wouldn’t post your resume on any website. When you apply for a job you need to have the flexibility to customize it to the needs (or shall I say “prejudices”) of the hiring manager. Basically you need to take their job description and parrot back exactly what they’re looking for, based on your own job experiences. This may include altering your job titles to fit their preconceived notions. For example, a job that’s looking for a VP of Public Relations, I could easily alter my job titles to fit this specific rather than use VP of Marketing. This could make a big difference to the hiring manager and is a legitimate alteration of the facts to maintain control of the presentation. Similarly, I’m going to describe each job in terms of 5 bullet points or 5 sentences. If the job description is weighted to PR, I’m going to use those specific bullets and ignore other success statements that may be irrelevant or misfire with the prospect. Better career guides all suggest you have several different resumes or customize each one for the job. But it you post online, your prospective employer will find it and say, “Oh, he’s a marketing generalist and we want a hardcore PR guy.” If you deny the employer this alternative information you force them to focus on what’s relevant about your skill set.

[...] Okay, so I’m not fully conversant with US law but seems to me this particular case has a glaring lesson for all of us: whatever you say on a social network can be found and used by employers (who are increasingly snooping) and possibly waives your right to privacy. This is why I have no MySpace presence and a half-baked Facebook page that says zilch. If you want to know how to use Facebook safely, go here. [...]

i started facebook to get more business going just for networking. Not it is becoming to personal. close family and friends are now on here. I don’t really want the two to mix.
