Social Media and Interviews

  • I don't have a facebook account (Does it make me unemployable if I refuse to share my thoughts and movements with everyone?)

    However if I did have one I'd be happy to provide the username and password to any employer in exchange for the interviewers bank account details and PIN.

    I think that if the company wants to know my personal information they should reciprocate.

  • It's funny that we have been talking about posting private stuff to FaceBook. I saw this article today that reinforces the whole thing I have been saying about Facebook. Be very careful what you post there. I know he's in the military, and thus comes under different rules than civilians, but it just goes to show what can happen when you start airing private stuff on the internet. The bottom line is just don't do it.:-D

    SAN DIEGO (AP) — A sergeant will be discharged for criticizing President Barack Obama on Facebook in a case that called into question the Pentagon's policies about social media and its limits on the speech of active duty military personnel, the Marine Corps said Wednesday.

    Sgt. Gary Stein will get an other-than-honorable discharge and lose most of his benefits for violating the policies, the Corps said.

  • Barrack room banter is notorious for being totally disrespectful of just about everything, and it's an important safety valve. The difference I guess is that although a Facebook contributor intends the content to be private, the scope for it to be otherwise is too great.

    Posting to Facebook is like writing your grievances down on a piece of paper and asking someone else to burn it 🙂

    Exactly, or like I posted before, trusting your privacy to Facebook is like trusting a peeping tom to install your window blinds.:-D

    Never been to the Tampa casino though it is just across the bridge. I'm not much of a gambler.

    I've been to it once. The company I worked for held an event there one day. It's pretty and the restaurant we had dinner at was quite nice. Didn't do any gambling, so I can't speak to that at all.

  • I've lived in the Tampa Bay area all my life and the only place I've every gambled was Vegas. I did pretty good at the slots but I don't play card games because I don't have the attention span required for it.

    Cheers
