LinkedIn should be ok but the truly social ones should be off-limits I cannot believe that a social networking site like Facebook or Myspace can be considered before making a hiring decision…too much personal information.

I recently connected with a former co-worker on Facebook. She was by no means a stellar employee when we were coworkers (15 years ago) and she always had drama in her life (to the point where we were all beginning to wonder what was truth and what was a figment of her imagination).

I can't help but wonder if the named law firm is aware...... Unless you run into what I recently did….
