Most job applicants have a general list before a job interview-updating a résumé（簡(jiǎn)歷），ironing a professional suit，rehearsing（排練）an explanation for those two years spent after college．However，if tidying up the Facebook profile isn't on that list，maybe it should be．
   According to a new study conducted by Harris Interactive for Career Builder．com，45 percent of employers questioned are using social networks to screen people looking for jobs this year-more than double
from a year earlier，when a similar survey found that just 22 percent of employers were researching potential hires on social networking sites like Facebook，MySpace，Twitter and Linked In．
   The study，which questioned 2，667 managers and human resource workers，found that 35 percent of employers decided not to offer a job to a candidate based on the content uncovered on a social networking site．
   The report showed that Facebook was the most popular online destination for employers to do their online sleuthing（偵查），followed by LinkedIn and MySpace．In addition，7 percent followed job applicants on Twitter．More than half of the employers who participated in the survey said that provocative（挑釁）photos were the biggest factor contributing to a decision not to hire a potential employee，while 44 percent of employers aimed at references to drinking and drug use as red flags．Other warning signs included bad-mouthing of previous employers and colleagues and poor online communication skills．
   While most of these may seem like obvious blocks，what consists of alarming behavior to a particular employer？Would photographs of a trip to the beach be considered inappropriate（不適當(dāng)?shù)模縏o be on the safe side，it's probably wise to use the new privacy settings offered by Facebook to keep everything but the most innocuous（無傷大雅的）content away from the public eye．
