The Birch Show.

And finally, the days of writing down references for potential employers are over because they're finding that more and more human resource professionals admitting to using social network sites like MySpace and Facebook to check out their applicants beyond just the resumes and the public profiles.

They say that in many cases, if an HR person shares in the same network as you and you have friends on your network, they may go to those friends and ask about you without your permission to find out all the dirt about you. We had sort of a case of this yesterday. You know, the more that we talked to Sean and Wendy on the show, and they're at 22, 23 years old, the more I feel like the dad of the show. But, you know, I saw Sean's MySpace page yesterday. And, man, anybody that

potentially is going to hire her if they go to her MySpace page, forget it. She has to stay

in radio always. I mean, always. There is no chance. You've really got to be careful, right?

And our college professors are actually warning us to either put our MySpace profiles on

private or put it on under different

names because they've warned us about potential employers now looking out of MySpace.

So definitely being taught in college not to put your MySpace page out there.

I know somebody that got fired because of comments that they were, it was two co-workers

and they were leaving comments on each other's page about their boss and about their work and being negative about it and both of them were pulled into the office and fired. No kidding. Yeah, because it was so ugly, the things they were saying about their boss. It was a public page. Yes. Everybody's going to see it. You think it was common sense, right? Yeah, people get worried about if people can overhear their phone conversations and they do that. Good morning. Jamie, you're on Q100. Hi. Hi, guys. I love your show. Thank you. I was just calling to weigh in on the MySpace page. I'm a teacher, and either MySpace or Facebook, you have to be so careful. Because parents and kids will look you up, and our has told us she said guys you have got to be

careful go through clean out anything any pictures that wouldn't be appropriate if you wouldn't want a

parent or one of your kids seeing it don't put it on there do you know any teachers that got in trouble

for this very thing well we had some that she just said, I'm sure they checked.

She said she hinted she'd seen some from our staff that she said you guys really need to go back and look at them and really clean them up.

Because we had some that probably had things they weren't supposed to on there.

And even if you're set to private, you know, a lot of times it's what's their last

name or something like that. And obviously the kids or the parents are going to know that.

Sure. Sure. So it really doesn't make it that private. And I had one of my students from

four or five years ago find me on MySpace and message me. She's in sixth grade now, and I thought her when she was like four years ago.

So does it work the other way around?

Do you go to your students' MySpace pages, too?
