  • Have you ever Googled your name? Current and potential employers are doing it. With the emergence of social media influences such as Facebook.com, employers are using social media as part of their due diligence for investigating new and current employees. Numerous colleges and universities have warned graduating seniors to be careful about the dangers of social media, such as Facebook and others. Some heed this warning, however many do not. Privacy is a thing of a bygone era. The internet and social media has forever changed that. Reputation management is a big issue with social media. Now individuals must manage their content on social media about themselves and manage the content by others as well. We are now living in the digital age and it has repercussions. With At-Will Employment laws in some states, now employers can use social media as grounds for terminating a current employee and deny employment to a potential new one. Welcome to the new digital age: You better check what is on social media about you or you can be sure that employers will! We will be joined by experts, Lori Andrews, professor of law at Chicago-Kent, College of Law distinguished professor of law at Chicago-Kent, College of Law; Charles Lamberton, President of the Lamberton Law Firm, LLC, a workplace rights and employment discrimination law firm; and Courtney Hefferman Mimmo, Social Media Director for O’Connell & Goldberg (O&G) public relations.
