Facebook - Jobs

Mental note: Check Facebook profile before applying for a job.

No i haven't learned this lesson the hard way. This is my way of reminding myself (and others) to not shoot themselves in the foot. I've changed my profile image from a Smithwicks logo to an image of a Rib Eye steak. It's far more politically correct than a beer logo and shouldn't hurt my chances with future employers. I'm still debating on whether i want to change it to no image vs the steak but I feel that this should suffice. I find myself questioning how the image could be interpreted and in the end i don't see anything negative about the steak image.

Now it's time to cross my fingers and hope that this step of caution is worth it.
