When I started my new job, one of the colleagues I was due to work with, and indeed still have to speak to occasionally, knew all about me, because the weirdass little fucker had googled me. He found PTS, my running page, and had read it all. The fucking freak. It's for this reason my facebook privacy settings are max. Even my friends can barely see me. Therefore, anything the person has made publically available is fair game, which if they're clever extends to nothing more than their name and a profile pic thumbnail. |

My girlfriend's company's HR department use FB when hiring people to see how much they lie on their CV, etc. They have turned a number of people down based upon FB data apparently. |

Big debate in HR about this at the moment (CG knows this already as he knows me better than I do). I don't like it personally. I mean a lot of people (inlcuding me) draw a strong distinction between work and play. I think you should go off what you see in an interview / work environment. Also, I'm not 100% clear how you can uncover CV lies on Facebook? Maybe job or reason for leaving. I'd be interested to hear what they have uncovered. |

I don't know the full details of it, but basically I think one of them said something in the interview, and when searched for on FB, it was found to be a blatant lie. I think another one was something really stupid aswell, like: "William has just spent an hour bullshitting in an interview" Or somesuch.

The other likely trip-up is past academic institutions. A lot of users join groups or network for places they went to school/college. If his CV says Oxbridge and his FB profile says Grimsby Community College, you're unlikely to give him a job. |

They, obviously, have access to all the boobage they want thanks to the Internet. I asked them if they felt somewhat let down by sex, as it's nothing like porn films. They looked at me blankly for a bit, and further investigation revealed that because all the girls are watching the same porn, that's their generations sex education, so that's the way they have sex. Lucky buggers. |
