Employers google for information on job applicants

This is why one should use one's head about posting stuff online! It's basically a big transparent fishbowl to anyone with the right data mining software, or even a search engine and a little patience. I guess if you wouldn't say something in person, then don't say it online.

Yup. I recently had to confront my own posts HERE

It wasn't work or employment related, but I was involved in a law suit. The lawyer for the other side found Pet of the day and used it against me. I honestly had nothing to hide, but I felt so exposed and violated. I told the truth in the deposition about what happened regarding the law suit as well as what I posted on here. I had to roll my eyes a couple times when they tried to say I have a stressful life... when they pointed out Pouncer's illness, Cameron, our money woes, etc. I told them that was LIFE. That what their client did was WRONG. Funny thing, the lawsuit wasn't for me.... it was for an old aquaintance. I saw things and somehow got involved in her case against someone else. *shrug*
