Enjoying the anonymity of the Internet on social networks? If you reveal a little more in Orkut, Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, or BlogSpot? Extreme political views, photos, jokes college preferences and more weekend?

An increasingly popular trend, graduates leaving the universities and the prospect of his first interviews are closing their social networking sites. Reason: The Big Brother is watching. Job seekers are increasingly aware of everything that gets in the online world, including e-mail, which, of course, can be forwarded to anyone.

These are not all paranoia. There is anecdotal evidence and some human resource reporting to talk about corporate recruiters are looking for in Google potential employees, inmates who enter social networking sites to see the profile of a candidate, and the online world as another form to check references. This trend, combined with the growing population of sites like Orkut, Facebook and MySpace, has many young people uneasy and unsure about how to navigate a new world.

B-school administrators and teachers are beginning to advise students on maintaining a professional presence on social networking sites, in email, personal websites and blogs. Even if it is password protected, recruiters have profiles, too, and can reach your audience.

In a survey conducted by AfterCollege. com a little over 70% of the 60 students say they still found the same things we always did, although that potential employers could take a look. About 20% of the 90 employers who have responded so far to the same survey, say they investigate new hires to visit social networking sites. A significant 6% of employers say they have decided not to hire someone based on what they saw online, but another 26% answered the same question, without comment.

To quote Roberto Angulo AfterCollege.com Students should be more worried than they are.
