01/15 Internet Mistakes

Quote From: tresa44nsc

I feel that posting your personal life on the internet should effect your chances for possible emloyment with a company because it may ,in the long run, effect the company.  Keep your private life private.

THat's the point here--the corporations are policing private lives, as well.

Or are we only allowed to have private lives behind locked doors and black-out curtains in our own homes?  Will they next want my phone records and personal email log-ins so they can see if I have contacted any controversial people or organizations?

I use MySpace to network with musicans and college friends.  That IS my private life.  I do not bring my private life into the office and I would appreciate it if my employers would, in turn, leave their professional expectations out of my personal space (at home and online).

I totally agree.

 If you are so immature to think that partying until you puke is cool and then taking pictures of  this event to post on the Internet,   then you are not  "employee worthy".    I know  I don't want to work with potential co workers, who have no idea, what is appropriate or inappropriate behavior.
