Why your drunk photo has nothing to do with how you do your job

Let’s face it folks—we’ve all got a few photos on Facebook of us a little bit tipsy.

Not naked-tied-to-a-trash-can-floating-in-the-Venetian-fountain hammered, but close.

But as more and more businesses pore over social media to get data on their employees, is your job performance tied to your drunk photos?

in a study of 175 people, the researchers found that there is no significant correlation between “conscientiousness” and someone’s willingness to post content on Facebook about alcohol or drug use.

So no, your drunk photos say nothing about your character. In fact, they might show you’re an extrovert—a plus in many job positions.

If you don’t get a job solely on a facebook photo—it’s probably not a place you would have wanted to work anyway.
