Dropping Balls On Facebook
November 07, 2008
A die-hard Cleveland Browns fan my entire life, I sat through yet another disappointing game Thursday night. Having watched hundreds of these games since my childhood, now I just laugh and turn off the TV.
So far, this season has been a season of watching Browns receivers drop balls. It's so hard to watch a receiver have a ball go right through their hands or catch a ball and then drop it. I'm not sure who leads the league in dropped balls this season, but I would bet a dollar that it's the Browns.
I have a hard time watching TV without my notebook computer in my lap. As I sat through the familiar misery of another Brown's loss Thursday night, I found someone else dropping balls on Facebook - big time. In fact, let's call this a dropped touchdown pass to win the game.
I have a tip for professional recruiters using Facebook to find job seeking candidates. If you really want to appear professional and find good talent, you should be careful what Groups you join on Facebook. Yes, your potential candidates can see them and I'm certain that most quality job seekers open to being contacted on Facebook by a professional recruiter would be turned off by a recruiter who's a member of several groups that include the name "Whores".
Now that's a dropped ball.

Something is very wrong if this is even close to happening. The tought of a "professional recruiter" even being in the same "space' as a group with "whores" in their name makes my stomach turn.
