Did you know? It's legal and some employers and universities are now looking to see what you've been doing / saying on the world wide web. Nothing is secure, so please be careful with the pictures and rantings that each of you may submit. It could mean the difference between your dream job and standing behind that Taco Bell counter.

Please, listen up, guys. Your FUTURE employer is NOT monitoring your online activities. How can any one potential employer moniitor 300 million potential users?
Your CURRENT employer probably is monitoring your activities, and can do this legally and without having to let you know, as long as you are using his equipment and his lines.
This is one conspiracy theory that I categorize in my round file, under the desk.

This IS possible, and getting more feasable by the month. Technoogy is advancing faster than we can keep up and learn it all. We CAN be careful by using alaises, and by watching what we say and post on the web. People just don't have a clue how easy it is to find what others are doing onliine. It is totally public what is put up on the web. While it seems a silly thing to some, it is not silly to employers of big business or the government. Some highly paid jobs will have employees who do nothing but scan an applicatant which is a serious contender for a position in a highly sensitive field. Even in field which are not so sensitive, many employers just want to know the charactor of who they are employing as the employee will be representing that company or government. They want highly skilled individuals yes, but they also want those who have high moral charactor or fiber. So, with the web as it is today, scanners of potential employee candidates will search the web for the candidates activities. They do not waste this on initial candidates, only when it gets to the point of becoming a serious potential hire.
So, I completely agree with this question. Well, not really the question, but the statement of how prospective employers can and are scanning the web for activities of prospective employees. Use caution in what you post and what you say online in the forums out there. It just may come back to bite you in the behind.

properly at the starting up our computer is contained in the livingroom. We actually have something referred to as "Cyper Patrol" on the table accurate with distinct settings in accordance to age so my children can browse the cyber web wisely. I easily have an 11yr previous, 8yr previous & 6yr previous. we adore how Cyper Patrol works and also it has a lot of procedures you could visual show unit your baby on line. i imagine the most element is to have it in a public placing. the computer is contained in the livingroom and we do not enable our children to talk or IM. i stumble on on line safe practices significant. I grew up even as all this became purely placing out and as a teenager I met adult men on line and that i became date raped for months by employing 1 older guy I met on line. I on the same time once invited a guy I purely met on line over to my living house and my mum and dad had no theory! keep the computer in a public position, set up a strong computer look after, talk surely at the same time with your children & stuff like that. allow your older children watch "Lifetime" video clips that tutor what ought to ensue. possibility is accessible and it takes position each and each and every of the time. i became fortunate I wasn't killed or worse. the guy who harm me were given off loose because i became to scared to discuss it and felt i became to blame. So I plan now to not allow this ensue to my children! i'm satisfied mum and dad those days understand the hazards and help look after them. strong success.

Wow. That would be odd in most fields. I can't see many fields investing the time and resources to investigate someone that closely. Most people don't use their real names anyway, how would they know?

How do they know who you are if you don't use your real name?
