So PISSED Off With Job Searching

They play all sorts of games, have a budget they need to expend, need to justify their jobs, need to satisfy EEOC requirements to interview x number of applicants, who knows! I'm going to get a master's in HR, if you can't beat 'em, join em!

You hit the nail on the head !!

The best way to approach the internet is to "pretend" everything you write is available for viewing to everyone in the world forever. Future girlfriends, future boyfriends, the wife you haven't met yet or the person giving you a job interview in the year 2018.

It's just nuts, how does a myspace benefit you at all?

Wake up people!

I certainly have a facebook account. I keep in touch with friends and family around the world- from Canada to Peru to London. I created my account last year to keep in touch with 2 relatives serving in Afghanistan and it grew from there. I have a network of 40 people and it's private (or as 'private' as you can get on the net). Facebook and Myspace doesn't always equal 'immaturity'. Email isn't the only way people can use the web to network. I believe you should use technology to your advantage- yes you have to be smart and safe about it but I wouldn't write it off as something only an immature 19 year old would use.
