Hate to buy into the paranoia garbage, but "social networking" means it's out there for people to see. <br />I know people in close circles would would walk out of an interview if asked for passwords & might just walk into an ALCU office to chat about violations of privacy. Still, not gonna get the job. <br /><br />Yet another friend said if you don;t have a social media site, some employer's count that against you too. <br /><br />Damn! Its brutal!Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14198689517878201943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3882537619389851611.post-42469194923749628472012-03-22T05:42:04.928-07:002012-03-22T05:42:04.928-07:00As you know, I don't work for wages any longer...As you know, I don't work for wages any longer because of illness, but I do think about it. I wonder how I would fare in this jobless environment. I always found work, and many times it was not what I was trained to do, but I took what was available and made do with that until I got something else. It is not a good environment these days. In fact, seems like the whole idea is to get workers to take a lesser job to keep the service economy going.<br />This cycle of unemployment is lasting longer than those before it. Same with thew housing markets. By now, things should be picking up, equity should be accumulating again. No such thing is happening. I bought my house 3 years ago today, and I can't sell it for what I owe. No equity after three years, a new furnace and a new roof. Guess I'll stay here.<br /><br />PeaceSpadomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17781369901345409341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3882537619389851611.post-4311288554275611742012-03-21T15:28:20.900-07:002012-03-21T15:28:20.900-07:00That sucks for sure.
