A survey from CareerBuilder.com showed 22 percent of employers looked at perspective employees’ Facebook profiles last year compared to 11 percent in 2006. Therefore, some graduating seniors are concerned about what employers could be seeing.
There is no easy way to say it: Facebook is out of control.
When Kari Weaver, information literacy librarian, is near a computer, she always has Facebook open. She, along with the rest of Wartburg’s librarians, considers Facebook a standard tool for her job.
At the beginning of Fall Term, James Juett, Eric Johnson and Jim Krajewski decided to create a Facebook group focusing on the Wartburg Internet access issues and other problems students were facing with their computers.
