Although you may watch what you say or do on Facebook because of your job (Tell me about IT!) it still may give your employers more information about you than you originally thought.
Researchers from Northern Illinois, the University of Evansville, and Auburn found that looking at people’s Facebook pages for just ten minutes could predict how well they’d do on the job.
They had people in Human Resources look at the Facebook pages of job applicants and grade them on traits like intellectual curiosity, conscientiousness, agreeability, and whether they were extraverted.
After six months on the job, supervisors evaluated the candidates on the same traits . . .
and came to the same conclusions. The strongest correlations were for intellectual curiosity, agreeability, and conscientiousness.
Photos of you traveling show you’re open to new experiences, and the number of friends you have indicates how extraverted you are.
So FAKE being cool and fun all you want, Facebook KNOWS THE TRUTH! Bwahahaha….
