And here we thought it was just for spying on our boyfriend's ex.

According to an article on www.trendhunter.com, headhunters are trolling social networking sites like Myspace.com for the next great talent (which is making me think I should stop posting all those pictures of me at the bar on my page...nothing says serious young professional like taking tequila shots while dancing on top of the bar...not that I've ever done that, or anything...why? what have you heard?).

Anyhoo, scouting out young creative types, particularly in the fashion realm, everyone from designers to photographers now have the potential to be discovered. In fact, one fashion magazine director said she has hired based off a really good Myspace page.

And although I have a hard time believing this trend considering no one has noticed my immense talent yet (for taking tequila shots while simultaneously dancing to "Devil Went Down to Georgia") I think headhunting on MySpace is brilliant. Particularly since many creative industries are hard to break into unless you know the right people.

So start pimping out your page and deleting those comments from your best friend of that time you spit in your boss's coffee and prepare to be discovered (Time span for being discovered varies. Void where prohibited. Not available in Hawaii or Wisconsin).
