Just before you upload those photos of your mate’s stag party or that video of you, dressed like Britney Spears pole-dancing (come on, we’ve all done it!) it might be worth knowing that your future boss could make his decision visa-vie your next career move based on these snaps. And apparently, the same goes for Universities:
Oxford University staff, it has been reported, have been using the popular social networking site Facebook to check whether their students have been indulging in any post-exam shenanigans. Apparently, any student found to be indulging in mischievous activities such as egging other students (as is the University's tradition) could be fined anything up to £100.
It's been said for a while that employers look at elements such as the email address on your CV when making their decision, favouring straight addresses (johnsmith@whatever.com) over decidedly less wholesome ones (you know who you are!) but is this perhaps a step too far? Should we always remain on-guard lest our prospective superiors take offence? Of course not! If you're job hunting, just remove any suspect content until you sign on that dotted line!
Happy 'booking!
