Obsessive people

Yea actually, Heat's right. I always look at it like this...Anything I place on here or on Myspace is fair game. It's there for anyone to see, and I won't fight it. If I don't want them to see something, I just won't post it.

 

My browser wouldn't let me set my myspace page to private and most of my friends are away for grad school and we are all broke and hate long distance bills so we limit our phone time and communicate a lot on myspace.

There is a comment section on myspace and other people would post comments to me about our weekend together or what have you. I never posted blogs that were intimate or weird in humor or anything like that because I was thinking ahhh what if someone I worked with saw my myspace page.
When I got laid off I started posting more personal stuff and my friend got a tracker and I thought it would be cool to see who visited my page and that's when I found out it was not so cool...and I was upset and felt like okay come and look at my page see my personal life, who my friends are whatever-no big deal. Everyone's curious by nature but when it got to be multiple times each day I was pissed that I had to censor myself once again.
Anywho a friend helped me make my page private permanently and now I can post whatever I want for only the people I choose to see it and all is good in myspace world
I hope you have a myspace or else this just sounds nuts...like the rest of myposts

 

Honestly, anything on the net is not private. I pay big money to sniff that out and for business that pays off as I can not afford to hire someone who "could" be a problem.......time constraints.

If you write it, it can be found....so glad you think you have it locked up.

Why myspace......after all I have heard about this site from not only forum members but simply from a research launch and mega bucks paid for it and reason why I will not interview a candidate....can you not with your friends open a members only site on MSN or some such?

Not doggin you.......just asking.

 

wait will you not interview a canidate because they have a myspace period? I don't know I just like it because even though everyone lives far away from me know we can all feel like we are engaged in each others lives.
My headline was raunchy so I traded it in today for a funny one because I am applying for jobs.
When I was doing hiring for the Y I was tempted to look at canidates myspaces but felt like it was violating their privacy..then again I got laid off so I was not the best HR person in the world...

 

you're right and I do need to be more careful, especially since I do use my real name on this site.

 

When I hire a head hunter, they review and send it to me. I read it and to be frank.......if anything I read sends me a bell, I do no interview, as that is my right. I get 500 applicant for a job.......I then tweak out my wish list down to 10 and interview. Would having a myspace account matter.....got to be honest, yes, depending on what I read there. Just that simple as what is posted might just be contrary to what is presented professionally and then what do I believe. Crap shoot......not a chance I am going to take when it is not my money or time only but someone who trusts me to make that call on a hire.

My time is money, I pay a head hunter to do the work, if they do not and I later find out what they missed they are on the hook for my expenses in getting rid of someone that should not of been hired. As a proffesional hire I do a year contract and dismissal is just that. I pay out the year.

Your question, if you had a blog, space, posts that are findable and it does not meet with my companies agenda, then you would not get an interview, no matter how qualified you are and that would just be.

People think they are not traceable with internet, they are and people are hired to do just that.

I hire people who need to work abroad on contracts that are sensitive........I am not hiring anyone that I think is going to hurt the company that pays me......hello.

That company hired me not only as a CA but also to protect them in HR in the field.....that is how I am paid. That is what feeds my kids, keeps clothes on them a roof over their heads and a fund to float university.

I owe nothing to a prospective employee other than a fair interview if nothing else flags that is against the policy of the company I work for, I owe my employer an honest employee.

I hire professionals, they should be professional, or they should not apply. If they apply they bear scrutiny.

 

I used to get on aol i had lots of weird guys that would change screen names everytime i would block them just so they could talk to me... stalkers almost like those lil cockle burrow things... they just hitch on... you never notice them untill that one time that it pisses you off because they want to be a little prick... lol

 

Heat, what does your company actualy do that requires this much security?

 

I stalked this guy in real life when I was younger (like 15), he was 6 years older then me and I had a huge crush on him. He lived in his own place but I wanted to see what his parents house looked like only because I wanted to see where he grew up, me and a friend drove to his parents house at 3 in the morning, I couldn't see it all that well but I ended up telling him about it later. He claimed that it wasn't his parents house even though that was the address in the phone book. I did some other pretty crazy ass things as well that I won't mention.

As for myspace, somebody prolly just finds you really interesting, I wouldn't really call it stalking. Multiple times a day is pretty weird, unless you change your page a lot...

 

I work in an aerospace environment and the majority that I hire and deal with are professional engineers and the majority hold doctorates and also many project managers who are also professional engineers.....we have contracts all over the world. In countries that do not afford the luxuries that we all so called enjoy.

It is sensitive. I do not care what some one feels or does here as that is under different laws, if we hire and send someone out on the field, then we own them and their family if there is a breach. The minute we hire them we own them when they are not on Canadian soil. It reflects on the company.

Ever want to argue for example simple usage of alcohol in a country that is it not ok to partake in......if we send someone there they best be able to abstain even in our compound while they are there.

That simple and that complicated.........we hire we own them, good bad and in-between. We will have to as a company answer for their behaviour.

Do not kid yourself that, only this company needs this type of screening, it is going on constantly and just is what hiring is today.

Weeding out in hiring saves a hell of a lot of time and expense.
