1. Such pryng into his online life makes Gawel uncomfortable. There's nothing bad on my profile, I'd rather they learn about me in person.
ReplyDelete2. I really am against employers looking at our profiles. It isn't right or fair.
2. Nothing
3. I agree with Gen and Chico.
1. "Such prying into his online life makes Gawel uncomfortable." I think that such prying is violation of privacy. After reading this article I have changed my facebook email. "Too many people take pictures of you. I didn't want to go through and 'untag' all of them. They're my memories and I want to keep them for now." I agree. I shouldn't have to review my pictures and memories to be seen as appropriate to possible employers.
ReplyDelete2. I feel that viewing someones private facebook is wrong. Such prying seems like a violation of privacy to me.
2. In order to not jeopardize possible job opportunities or potential acceptances at colleges I have changed my facebook name to a nickname, as well as my email. Therefor, I should not be found by people I don't know well searching me.
3. Paul and I shared a similar opinion on this topic. It's not right for people to seek employees, and evaluate them on more than their resume and personal interview. Carlos also said something along the lines of feeling violated. I too feel violated.

ReplyDelete"Such prying into his online life makes Gawel uncomfortable." i think people should just not give so much attention to facebook becuase thats what everyone wants and i beleive as long as your doing your job there isnt a need to involve facebook and work together/.
ReplyDeleteI agree with what Jen has said, I dont think people should put so much effort into worrying about what people do on there person webpage. Its there buisness not everyone elses for a reason. Your job doesnt need to be judged based on a petty website.
