There is no doubt that the social networking craze has opened up huge opportunities for companies to attract or find candidates for jobs. In particular it opens the door to a large number of passive candidates. However, you must be careful about how you go about your job search. As a young footballer found out: -
A footballer accidentally let slip his hopes for a transfer to a rival club - on his Facebook page.
Crystal Palace winger Ashley-Paul Robinson, 19, posted two messages on the website saying he was having a trial with Fulham.
But rather than restrict the news to his 198 pals, he mistakenly revealed it to 2.7 million people, reports The Sun.
Robinson, who has been at Palace five years, wrote on the website: "Ashley-Paul is goin fulham. Fingers crossed."
A Crystal Palace source said: "It's pretty embarrassing for the club. Perhaps he should be a bit more private about what he puts on the internet."
