1.     What percentage of employers that CareerBuilder surveyed used social media to screen candidates for hiring?

2.     In an informal piece of writing of about a paragraph, tell me what you think about this line:

“I think it should be very clear to anyone old enough to be looking for a full-time job to understand that, given all the social media scandals, you should assume employers—or anyone else that might have a say in your livelihood—will see what you post.”

3.     There are five really annoying online habits listed in the “Using Facebook to hire and fire” – of the five, which ones do you see as the one that would prevent someone from getting a full-time job after high school?

4.     What if you were working at a restaurant as a server and you disagreed with someone much higher up in the same company? Do you have the right to voice your disagreement with them without consequence?

5.     If you do disagree with your employer or customer in public, is there anything to protect you from getting fired?
