This gives me some relief. I was introduced to the internet when I was extremely young and have grown up as the net itself was growing up. Being an awkward teen on the internet and learning the hard way all the mistakes we don't make now is terrifying from the job interview perspective. I was a strange child, and the internet helped me find my identity. I'm only 23 and don't plan on having any drunk pictures of me posted, but I have searched things in my past that I am VERY ashamed of today. I don't want those searches, that past brought up. I was a teenager, finding myself. Now I am a semi-adult who has had good life experience, education, and I would rather my future employers judge me on that instead. Seeing all these "THE INTERNET IS FOREVER" articles and things gives me a sick feeling. The job market I'll be going into is already scarce. I can't afford to have people judge me on who I am not anymore.

The transparency became a Problem to me when I uploaded my Video Resume to Youtube which I used to apply for jobs. Suddenly I got stupid comments from co workers who found my Video.
After that I deleted that one and Uploaded again to http://www.mayomann.com because only Companies were able to view it. Having things like that secure makes just more sense.

Cheers

I have mixed feelings on this.

I don't think people should be too concerned about old "those photos" being pulled up on archive.org or something. And as I've heard so many people say, "Would you really want to work for a company where 'those photos' are an issue?"

On the other hand, if "those photos" are STILL up on your profiles, then you're just an idiot and you deserve to be flipping burgers. ;-)

Of course many of us partied in college. But posting it on the internet means you're proud of it to this day. If this is the image of you you want the world to see, well, maybe you're not the candidate I had in mind.
