Dear SG Family,
We've had this discussion time and time again about what to post and what not to post on the message boards as far as privacy. Please be aware that there is nothing that is "100% safety proofed" once it has been posted publicy. Please use wisdom when talking about your work places, naming your boss, place of work, etc. The following came across my desk today, and I thought I should share this with you as just another reminder:
"Be careful about what you
put on the Internet. A
vault.com survey reveals
that 44 percent of hiring managers
have screened job applicants by searching social sites such as
Facebook and MySpace, and 39 percent have looked up a
current employee. Although some social networking sites allow
you to filter who reads your page, there’s no such thing as
complete privacy on the Internet, so always consider the implications
of your behavior before posting. Your reputation is
at stake."
As a good rule of thumb always think: Would I want my mate reading this? Would I want my boss reading this? Would I want my neighbor reading this? Would I want my family reading this?
That's why you're asked to choose your "user names" so that you can maintain a higher level of privacy.
I always want us to be aware.........I try hard to keep a careful watch about not permitting the posting of private information such as telephone numbers, addresses, etc., but I don't always catch things. Use sound judgement at all times when using the internet.
Love,
Clara
