To everyone faced with either mandatory or voluntary employment searches, I thought I'd share a conspiracy theory I came up with.
Ever hear of those real bright Yale or Harvard types that had prospects for a great entry level position at a great law firm, bank, or other high paying career that suddenly were no longer considered? Turns out they posted some stupid video or comments on blog sites that those employers found distasteful. Not all that uncommon I'll wager.
There are also programs that ID your IP address. Those that post here, for example, can be matched with the IP address used to send an application to someone like Netjets.
That said, if I were in human resources and wanted to use a cheap easy way to check up on someone's character, I would do just that. Point is, nothing is private when using the internet. Watch what you say-it may come back to haunt you. Just some food for thought.
