Your Facebook profile can tell employers how good you are going to be at your job, according to research from Northeastern Illinois University reported by the Daily Mail.
The research found that impressions taken from candidates' Facebook pages were later found to be accurate after six months of employment. The Mail goes on to say that the "findings come amid reports that employers could ask candidates for their Facebook passwords".
