- teaspoon 15y agoI don't know where you're getting that LinkedIn asked Jason to keep his mouth shut about anything.
- biot 15y agoI wouldn't go on a date with a woman who blogged a review of every date. At the same time, it'd be awkward if one had to ask their dates in advance not to publish a detailed account online.
- teaspoon 15y agoIt would also be awkward if an interviewee wanted to come back to my apartment for drinks. Interviewing and dating are two different social situations with different codes of etiquette.
- alttab 15y agoPosting to a blog about a first round of interviews while you are still going through them can easily be viewed as premature, immature, and potentially dangerous for the company (but moreso for the reputation of the poster). Now, if he had been hired, worked hard for a couple of years and was promoted from within the interview story could be considered relevant advice. However it is too early for anyone including himself to glene any pro/cons out of it, and instead the blog post looks like a kamikaze mission to the top of the hill to let his buddies know where the enemies are hiding.

Have you ever seen something like this be "dangerous" for a company in real life, or is it completely imaginary? You use the word "easily," so I'm just wondering if it's so common that I just don't get out enough.
- biot 15y agoAn interview is a private interaction; making it public is what some see as poor judgment. If it were the company blogging about every candidate they interviewed, I suspect that would be received in a similarly negative light.
