Businesses these days need employees they can trust and, as such, are conducting more thorough background checks than before. What can seem like a minor mistake in judgment, such as drinking while driving, can have serious ramifications later when it comes time to search for a new job.

Applying to college and looking for a job are not as straightforward as they once were. Individuals, schools and companies all have a presence on social media, which means more information is available to everyone. All of this additional information is incredibly valuable to job seekers and college applicants, but also poses its own set of challenges around applicants’ privacy and what they make available to those evaluating them.

For high school students applying to college, social media can be a tremendous resource. Most colleges maintain Facebook pages, Twitter feeds and blogs that prospective students can follow to gain a different perspective on a school. These constantly updated resources provide a glimpse into daily life at a college that you would not find in normal admissions materials.

It seems like ages ago when I began my college search. Even as early as my sophomore year at Tenafly High School my parents forced me to begin taking tours of campuses. Tagging along at my older brother’s heels (a Senior in High School at the time), I anxiously awaited seeing the pre-approved dorm room of a current student – as it was the main attribute I was interested in for my undergraduate education, the freedom of living under my-own-roof!

Times have changed and I graduated from Skidmore College, a small liberal arts school in upstate New York. While the dorms are considered palaces (Princeton Review), I truly enjoyed the wide variety of classes I was eligible to take even while pursuing a Bachelor of Science Degree for Management & Business, with minors in both Studio Art and Economics.
