After reading the article "Now on Facebook, Your Future Doctor, Partying.” by Jill Laster and "What Employers are thinking when they look at your Facebook page." by Forbes magazine, it is clear to see that professionals look at whats online before hiring an individual. In the article by Jill Laster, she describes how when her and a fellow colleague were looking at students facebook pages, they found graduate medical students, completing their residency, on  facebook at an alcohol soaked party with their lab coat on it. I would not feel comfortable if I saw that on facebook, and knew that the guys or girls in that picture could potentially be taking care of me.

In the article "What Employers are thinking when they look at your Facebook page." by Forbes magazine, It tells how often employers do look at your facebook page. Although many people find it unfair, employers look at it and see what your likes, dislikes, best photo angles, and what your personality may be like. It gives people a first judgement without seeing, or speaking to you face to face first.

Although many people don't like the fact that potential employers do look at social media plat forms, there is nothing a person can do to stop it. My best advice to anyone looking to get a job, career, and make money is to not be silly about what they put on social media.
