  - I think anyone hoping to get hired by a fortune 500 firm better expect to have them look. -- nm - loosilu Dec 19, 12:13 5
    - Well...the clear next step is for people to set up FB pages specifically to look good to employers - The Calico Cat Coalition Dec 19, 12:19 4
      - You do this one under your real name, and then your actual facebook under a nick name. -- nm - Amy Dec 19, 12:24 1
        
        did i tell tt/st that fb made me use my real name to keep my preferred e-mail associated with it? - b! merry and bright. Dec 19, 12:28

    - how long ago? if it is not standard by now, I'd be shocked. -- nm - loosilu Dec 19, 12:16 4
      - 1995 to 2003, including a few years taking job ads from employers directly -- nm - con_carne Dec 19, 12:19 3
        
        aaaaah. yeah, that 5 years was a big deal in this case. -- nm - loosilu Dec 19, 12:21 2
        
        I'm doubtful that the advent of the internet has suddenly made employers interested in grad students' discretion -- nm - con_carne Dec 19, 12:35 1
        
        I think you're in denial. :) -- nm - loosilu Dec 19, 12:40
  - i don't think so -- nm - zork Dec 19, 12:13 1
    - first time a prospective employer web searched me was 12 years ago. -- nm - loosilu Dec 19, 12:14
