Quote, paraphrase and citation #3

Quote: Today's college students are constantly reminded that their extracurricular undergraduate experiences posted on the Internet can cost them employment opportunities.
The emergence and subsequent explosion of social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube in the past five years has led to an increase in employers heading to the web when perusing lists of potential employees.

Paraphrase: People in their 20's consistently are told that their immoral upperclassman involvement exposed onto Facebook and other social networks can eliminate the chance for job experiences. The evolution and consequent eruption of these networks in the last couple years is creating an incline for employers going to these networks and internet to see what applicants for the job are really 'clean' and not engaging into certain activities that can cause a bad reputation for the business.
