摘要：The online social networks allow individuals to continuously create and model their self-presentations and representations.Facebook stands for a relevant example as people are given the uncensored opportunity to unfold their online selves according to their interests,preferences,goals and expectations.!e current research aims at investigating the way students (re)present themselves on Facebook social networks and their readiness to consider the implications of Facebook usage as a recruitment tool by the current employers.As more and more people use "gurative photos to present themselves on Facebook,it becomes important to understand whether the users are aware of the consequences derived from uninspired choices when it comes to future employment.Neither the virtual,nor the physical self can ever truly be liberated from the other and the association between them may become an advantage and a disadvantage at the same time.!e investigation is concentrated on the person’s perception,taking into consideration the reasons for pro"le pictures and album photos selection,for the generated content and its e#ects on the online identity.!e analysis relies on a sociological survey based on self-administered questionnaires – 89 undergraduate students from the National University of Political Studies and Public Administration in Bucharest participated to the research we conducted during two weeks in April 2013.!e data analysis validates the main hypothesis is that students’ self-presentation through their Facebook pro"les follows the o$ine personal data and is not in%uenced by potential employers’ assessments.
