Eve Tahmincioglu reports on a study that analyzed the relationship between the content of individual Facebook profiles and career success. Some of the predictors of success in your job include:

• Emotional Stability – not too many passive-aggressive updates or emotional images.
• Extraversion – having lots of friends helps.
• Openness –the ability to consider alternative viewpoints is a good thing. In this context those who have travelled have an advantage since they’ve been exposed to different people and cultures
• A dislike of cats. Research shows that cat-people are less extraverted and agreeable than dog people.
