Digging In The Digital Dirt

We noticed this relevant article from Howard University’s student newspaper, The Hilltop.

The article covers a trend we’ve noticed and discussed, namely the use of social networks by HR departments as a supplemental reference in job applicants. Employers are increasingly turning to public online social networks in order to get a more complete picture of potential employees that might not otherwise be revealed in an application. The Internet is now part of your resume, whether you like it or not.
