Yes! You read that right, apparently employers are digging up all your dirt on myspace, so keep that page clean of complaints, poor spelling/grammar or things that could make you look bad!
A recent article found nearly 27 percent of employers run profile checks on google and social networking sites like myspace! Most said they would not hire someone if there was questionable content posted..
The article also stated a recent college graduate confirmed after numerous companies rejected him for hire he was told to google check himself in which he found an article he had written for college entitled "Lying Your Way To The Top!" He promptly asked it be removed and began receiving invitations to job interviews and has now received several offers..
