Who Will This Impact?
This situation is going to have a strong impact on anyone searching for a job and who is also a user of social media. This may be especially useful for soon-to-be college graduates to take into account.
One needs to be prepared for potential employers to ask or have already seen their social media sites. Individuals must expect that their sites may have an influence on an employer before the interview has even taken place.
