employment via facebook?!

i was browsing thru my stack of magazines and newspaper when this article caught my eyes. some companies are actually choosing their employee via facebook! wow.. it so weird. their reason was they believe people that owns a page on the such webby should be IT sauvy, young (at least mentally), etc.

i am not keen on friendster and facebook because of the ton of applications and i need to d/l and the loading time and bugs on some of those sites sucks! but i think that's because i am not IT sauvy enough to know how to get around those problem i face?

will u as a company boss choose your to-be-emplyee via such means? i always thot such websites are meant for informal interaction between people. so people tend to post rubbish and funny photos on their own facebooks. but if my prospective bosses may be peeking into it for a 'deeper understanding' of my personal conduct..err... maybe that will means a rather different presentation of my online personality? too much possiblities araise from such a topic that i had discussed with my hubby. his views are rather similiar to mine but he does have another point of view on the IT thing. well... just as life is... not absolute answer to anything.. =)

i wonder... will nursing come to a point where, we get online-shopped by our prospective hospital? haha... then wat will they look for in our profile? hmm... *mental note- nvr post druken photo of self online!* =P
