Wouldn't be surprised if they were.
But seriously, what's going to get you dinged? Unless all your photos are nothing but drunken idiocy or your Activities include your local KKK chapter, I don't think you'd have anything to be worried about.
All someone would gather from my Facebook is that I like soccer, am engaged, and go to the beach/lake a lot. I don't think there's anything incriminating on 90% of people's websites.

Yeah...in a normal world, my facebook wouldn't have anything to be worried about. But I have a hunting album on there, which is what inspired me to ask about this. I know some people have strong feelings against hunting/guns/conservatives in general, and I want to avoid any possible negatives. Though I mention I'm a hunter in my application and I am not ashamed of it one bit (quite the contrary), pictures can illicit a different kind of reaction from some people.

Its funny you ask. I just read an article last week that says more and more employers are checking the interet to see what they can find out about a potential candidate before an interview. And a lot of employers are checking myspace, facebook, youtube and other such similar sites. The like answer to your question is, yes.

I think that your facebook/myspace page is more important to employers. I'm sure employers google search you prior to hire.
The other problem with FB & MS is that other people can post incriminating photos of you.
Gotta be careful what you put on the web as its difficult to remove it.

I'm putting one together and making a professional and semi social page. I figure it a good way to advertise and make it a positive thing for me. If people are checking these pages, must as well try to take advantage of it and make it work fo ryou.
