This has gotten out of hand and way beyond the realms of the debate really. An employer is not going to sack someone because of random pictures. It is merely to do with having two candidates applying for the same job, both have the exact same qualifications, experience and skills. Candidate a posts on an open Facebook profile that they have had a large weekend, got pissed, took drugs so can feel a sickie coming on on Monday. Hates his ****ing job anyway they are all wankers. Candidate B does exactly the same at the weekend but doesn't post on Facebook it has privacy settings switched on. Employer can't decide between the two candidates so has a bit of a surf. Comes across candidate as Facebook profile, alarm bells ring employs candidate b. Who can blame them??
