Quote From: charise820But were do you stop. I understand not hiring someone that is drunk all the time. I wouldn't want that, but what if someone not hires people based on there profile page. lets say it's dark with an angel (one that myself has had).
dr phil made a good point you need to have people around your children with good values but what makes your values more important than mine. I have pic on my profile of my cousins horseing around they are not drunk they have on all there clothes but are were my bras over there close doing a runway walk. LOL
Also it is so easy for any one to make a profile of someone on myspace. Remember dr phil had a show on students doing that to there teacher. with her personal information. I know we are talking about these young girls that think this is cool (which I don't understand). but what if you are going to hire someone and you search and they have never had a myspace profile but you find one because someone stole there identity or they are just being down right mean. Just something to think about. Also if you don't hire them based on there myspace or facebook or youtube have you told them that was a reason and what you didn't like about it.
Had about working fast food I have made good money working there before. to make it sounds as if is a horrible job. well I will remind you someone has to do it so that you can enjoy your fries and your buger. just like that person that has to take out the trash too.
and you should know this you clean houses...great and you pay great but not everyone that does makes what you and your people make. Nothing is beneith anyone.
I'm sure you are a nice person, and it wasn't my intention to demean fast food workers at all...obviously, we need them and I'm quite kind to them...and all food service people whenever I deal with them.... and I respect them for getting off their behinds and getting a job at all!
However, my point was that that should not be a lifetime goal....and if you mess up your reputation by putting garbage up on the net, then that may be the only job you CAN get! I've worked as a waitress many years ago....it was the most difficult, most exhausting job I ever had, and it gave me a great respect for anyone who does that type of work....but, it was never my goal to do that forever. I wanted better...and I got better...by watching myself and guarding my reputation like the gold that it is!
You asked me what makes my values better than yours? I don't know you personally so I cannot answer that because I don't know your values. What I do know is that as a society we all have to follow rules and try to live together in peace and harmony. It is NOT okay for everyone to do whatever they want to do and have the "screw you" attitude that is seen all too often. I know what common sense tells me....and it says that too many people are too out of control, rude, obnoxious and don't care about others...and even sadder: they don't care about themselves, obviously, or about 98% of the trash on these websites would not be up there for all to see. (and you know as well as I do that I'm not talking about sweet pictures of children and families that someone posts on their site!)
By the way, when I hire someone, I do NOT care what their religious beliefs are; that has no bearing on the job they will do. I never even ask them that question. I also do not judge them on their appearance...(although it's nice when they come to a job interview looking presentable, as if they actually care about getting the job)....and I have hired people from all walks of life as well, and all ethnicities.
And, yes, to answer your question, I DO tell someone why I will not hire them if I find something objectionable on a website, because I always give them a chance to explain it...I am a pretty broadminded person and I do try to be fair.
Freedom is a wonderful thing: freedom of speech is important....but along with this freedom comes responsibilities and consequences.
Bottom line is what I said before: if you don't want to suffer the consequences, don't post the garbage on the websites at all!
Girls dancing on bars half-naked, passed out on the beach, hugging the porcelain … these are photos posted for all to see on the Web site Facebook, in a group called Thirty Reasons a Girl Should Call it a Night. These shocking and provocative pictures are supposedly submitted by the women in the photos themselves. The women say they love to have fun, and this is a way to bond with other girls just like them. But are there unforeseen consequences to letting the public behold you at your worst? Dr. Phil speaks with women on both sides of this debate. Jasmine is the moderator for the group Thirty Reasons and says, although she’s responsible for taking down questionable photos, she hasn’t found one yet! Amanda and Norma are incensed that women would degrade themselves in this way. Hear from the president of a company who uses Web sites like Facebook and MySpace to weed out potential employees. Could documenting your good time on the Internet become your biggest regret? Then, a teen who loves to drink says criticism of Thirty Reasons just reinforces the double standard of gender inequality. What do Dr. Phil and the teen’s mother think? Plus, a mayor’s sexy photo has her town’s residents outraged. And, meet a substitute teacher who says he was unfairly fired from his job two times for what’s on his MySpace page. Share your thoughts here.
