luckily, i use ap style when writing friendster testimonials

At some companies, such as TheLadders.com, a New York-based company that helps people find high-salary jobs, hiring managers would rather see an innocent, uncensored profile on Friendster or Tribe. Dagny Prieto, the director in charge of hiring graphic designers, Web site coders, and writers, regularly uses Friendster to look at job applicants before interviewing them. "Friendstering" is the next step after Googling, she says, because applicants' profiles are filled with clues about what they might be like to work with. "Someone will come in [for an in-person interview], be all buttoned-up and seem very proper, but you know you just saw their profile, and on it, their friends were talking about how they were wild and crazy and party seven nights a week," she says. For Ms. Prieto, that's fine. "I want to know what your real personality is like," she says. However, bad grammar or typos, even on candidates' friends' pages, give her second thoughts.
