Saving Face

Check your Facebook account NOW because it’s about to reveal something shocking about you

Act now or the social network could dredge up some hugely embarrassing stuff from your past

We don't wish to alarm you, but something dramatic could be happening to your Facebook profile RIGHT NOW.

The social network has introduced a change which means your past will be dredged up and whacked at the very top of your profile for everyone to see.

Zuck's firm has had a little fiddle with its profile settings and changed the way the "intro" section works.

It will now display frank details of your education and job history, allowing your so-called "friends" to have a good old chuckle at that time you called yourself an art critic or failed a degree from some far-flung hellhole or other and ended up working as a medical test guinea pig.

Of course, you have probably already told Facebook pretty much everything about your past.

But until now, your work history and education (or lack of) were buried away at the bottom of your profile, allowing new "friends" to judge you on that array of red-eyed nightclub group shots rather than your actual life history.

Now that info is displayed at the the top left hand corner of your profile.

"This is a change we made in the past week to make it easier to understand which of your work and education (school, college) fields are public,"

"None of these fields have [had] their privacy settings changed; we’re now simply showing the already-public fields in Intro."

There is salvation on hand for those who really don't want the world to know about that summer they spent holding a golf sale sign in a lesser know part of Wolverhampton.

"If you’ve already curated what you want to appear there, this change shouldn’t affect you," the spokeswoman continued.

We'd advise you to go and check immediately, because few of us would have thought to go back and sort out our work history and education.

Mostly because we're too busy working at forgetting our school days.
