This could have been my Facebook status but I’ve already beaten that joke into the ground.
The subject line is still true, though. I am also becoming more aware of how all these social networking sites leave an easy-to-follow trail of crumbs for prospective employers to check out. Not that I’ve ever posted anything that would particularly get me knocked out of consideration for a job, it’s more the Big Brother aspect that gets me. One post I made here resulted in someone contacting me about it because I used words that were flagged by Google Alerts. Everyone watches everyone else on the world wide web. Quite the merry circle!
Mostly though I just don’t feel Facebook is a good fit for my rambling, verbose style.
UPDATE: After posting this, I checked Facebook and got the following. The timing is ironic, to say the least. And delicious!
