Facebook Profiles Accurately Predict Job Performance

A new study says that your Facebook profile lets employers know what kind of employee you will be. Quick, remove all those embarrassing posts and pics from your FB page! That's the advice of a new study from the Northern Illinois University, the University of Evansville and Auburn University. The researchers recruited a group of four Facebook-savvy human resources professionals and students to evaluate the Facebook profiles of 56 users. The four perused each of the profiles for about 10 minutes each before grading them according to the so-called Big Five personality traits (openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness and neuroticism).
