Yes, it is, and don't ever put enough details of an interview and how you feel about it on-line in a public post in something connected with your real name, or the interviewer may find it. http://hzatz.livejournal.com/24007.html And with only the information that the interviewer found it by Googling, some enterprising person who doesn't know your name, but knows enough other information about the situation (company name, interviewer's name) can Google, find you, and post embarassing comments about you elsewhere. I have friends on livejournal who don't have their real name directly connected with their LJs, but who never, ever, ever refer to their employer, or any company they interview with, by name. Period. Not even in private entries. It's a fairly sensible practice. Julia _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
