Networking sites make case for the prosecution

Two weeks after Joshua Lipton was charged in a drunken driving crash that seriously injured a woman, the 20-year-old college junior attended a Halloween party dressed as a prisoner.

As a person who does hiring, recruiting, and other personnel tasks as necessary, I don't care if the person has a facebook or other internet posting. Items such as mild partying, nudity, or inuendo's don't make or break a person or their chances. Point towards depravity or illegal activities and you won't get the job. If you have very nasty stuff to post on your own site, don't bother submitting an application.

The same goes for a regular background check. If you are hauling too much baggage, I'm not going to hire a future liability or a nutjob.

Generally, if it won't affect how you work. I don't care about it.

Get use to it. There are more cameras filming our actions and the amount of them is only going to increase.

Be careful before you act irresponsble. It may make the headlines someday!
