Good luck!
Social networking sites such as LinkedIn and Facebook have quickly become powerful tools for many new business applications, including hiring. As a result, you shouldn't put anything on these sites that you wouldn't want a prospective employer to see TODAY or TEN YEARS FROM NOW. This includes your friends who might not have as much at stake. Don't be naive and think that setting your profile to "invitation only" or "private" is a way to protect yourself. It's NOT.
