58% van de jongeren in de states zien het al dan niet kunnen inloggen op sociale netwerksites als een reden om een job te aanvaarden of of niet. Het onderzoek herbergt ook terug een oproep naar mediaeducatie:

“Conducted in September, the survey polled 1,000 people ages 12 to 17. The survey also found that while 88 percent of the surveyed teens used social networks every day, 38 percent did not consider the reaction of present or future employers to their online record.

Eighty-three percent, however, said they did not behave unethically while using the social networks, according to the survey.

“It really shows that there is a need for the additional education of our young people in terms of appropriate behavior,” said Junior Achievement spokeswoman Stephanie Bell. “They need to be careful when they post because it will now live in perpetuity.”” (bron)
