i heard a story the other day about i guy at an interview to get into college.. the guy asked him if he had a myspace/facebook.. the guy said he had a facebook. the interviewer asks him to show him it, on his laptop that he pulled out from underhis desk.. he then wasn't the guy he described as..
he told the interviewer he was very realigious, and went to church every week, and that he didn't party or drink.. after pulling up his facebook, he notices pictures of the guy drunk with his friends, and is then not let into the college.. did you guys hear about this? |

I haven't heard of that specific incident, but I've heard of college interviewers checking applicants' MySpaces or sites.
It's kind of weird.

QUOTE(marzipan @ Jun 9 2007, 11:46 AM)  I haven't heard of that specific incident, but I've heard of college interviewers checking applicants' MySpaces or sites. It's kind of weird. I agree. Also, the public domain thing is true. Pretty good way to make sure your employees are..honest. |
