Group: JOBS 2.0: Job Search Career Networking Staffing. Post Resume -Get Paid by Employers at Resumark .com John Palcisko has started a discussion: When Looking for a New Job, Are You Worried About Being Googled? "I speak to job seekers everyday, and as the rise of social networking has been on the rise, they tend to ask about the social networks and what items they should "remove" from their profiles to make them look more professional. I thought this would be a great topic to discuss and when I saw this article, I wanted to share it with all of you: http://bit.ly/qfCjf7. In the article it says that 71% of human resource departments have discontinued using Google and social networks to screen candidates. Now, do you think that job seekers need to worry about their personal social media presences? What about what comes up when you Google their name? When you are placing a new person, do you use social media to research?"
