Do Employers Screen Applicants Using Social Networks? You Bet!

I checked out Reppler, and its very cool. But I have set my LinkedIn and Facebook profiles to "private" -- so unless you are already connected to me, you really can't see anything. My Twitter handle doesn't have my full name, but a modified version of my first name. A potential employer could find me; but I'm not sure if they would go through the legwork.

Ironically I have an about.me page that I put on my resume -- which is tailored to potential employers, and it gets few hits. I also wouldn't mind them seeing my blog...but again, few hits. :-/
