Employers: don't judge me on my social media life

RECENTLY on a TV show I was watching the point was made about employers checking up on potential employees by scouring their Twitter or Facebook profile.

To be honest, this sounds frankly insane to me.

Social media, as we know, is put under a lot of scrutiny today, be it bullying, weirdos having pictures of kids, and so on. As an avid user of social media, mainly the old Twitter, (and I’m occasionally tagged in a few pictures on Facebook), I must say I was quite shocked.
