But really hide or sanitize your online presence. There's a better and better chance that someone on the hiring committee knows their way around the internet. And facebook is one thing, but using a drunk photo as a linkedin photo is pretty inexcusably stupid. lizinthelibrary@idkfa.com (lizinthelibrary) Look down, look down...

Being able to clean up your online presence prior to a job application seems like a critical skill to me. Or, perhaps, one I wouldn't want to a hire a person without. kaiden@idkfa.com (kaiden) Look down, look down...

Their facebook (unlocked) was worse. That isn't why I didn't hire them to be a children's librarian. But it didn't help their case. lizinthelibrary@idkfa.com (lizinthelibrary) Look down, look down...

It does give me some comfort, however, to know that they are wearing a pirate hat and a stupid grin, and that somehow, it all makes sense. kaiden@idkfa.com (kaiden) Look down, look down...
