You don't have to be an exhibitionist to work here but...

Yet again mX deviates from Brangelina/Britney disaster stories into the world of Engineerswithoutfears.

Are you "funky*"? If so, your recruitment company may be using Facebook or MySpace to find "cool and crazy" (i.e. nuts) job candidates for you. First using social media was supposed to be career-limiting and now it's good.

Surprisingly, photos of drunken nights out or people having fun with their mates make profiles stand out to headhunters.

I guess it all depends which industry you are in eh? "Yes, I think you'll find we're surprisingly open to nudity at this accounting firm".

*If you are James Brown or Sly Stone, you are funky. If you are an HR manager within an organisation, you are in no way (and never will be) funky. Are we clear about the distinction here folks? In fact, anyone who uses the word "funky" is by definition unfunky. Look I don't make the rules, so stop complaining. Remember kids: James Brown is dead.
