If you think you can be a jerk on the Internet and have it not potentially affect employment then you're being naive. Most interviewers will do an Internet search on your name and dig up as much as they can about your behaviour on platforms and social networks.
- alexandercrohde 10y agoIf true, I'd argue this is evidence the problem is more widespread than realized (rather than "normal." Just because something is common doesn't mean we should accept it). I think this issue is particularly daunting because free-information seems good, but having been to ridiculous interviews before we are all aware how biasing a small amount of irrelevant data can be.
