Social networking

I have gone to the lot trouble of setting up my account on these Social Networking sites and having let my friends know the time has come to close my account.

So I decide that actually it may not be a great idea to have lots of my personal information floating about on-line and want to delete my accounts.

This should be simple to delete one self from these Social Networking sites, right? Well NO NOT QUITE! The fact are, I couldn't completely erase all my account from most these Social Networking sites.

I would tell you to do the following If you are going to close an account and you have decided to close it for sure, the best thing to do would be log-in and change all of your account info and details about your self to useless information and details about your self.

Most of these sites use very carefully constructed sentences to skirt around the fact that they’ll keep at least some of your details on their records.

Here is a instance for you. Microsoft Windows Live account, Microsoft states: “Closing your account will permanently delete your registered information (This is information given to Windows Live, including your e-mail address and password.) and credentials”, Wow this sound good this just what I wanted!, until you read further down the document to the part that says, “Some of your information will not be deleted. To learn more about this see Microsoft On-line Privacy Notice”,

Microsoft has no specific mention of any of the information that may be retained about you!!!!

Some of these site also talks of ‘deactivating’ accounts rather than deleting it!

Look being on Social Networking site is fun, Just be carefully with your information.

Some one is get rich on your information..... NO JOKE!

Social networking

Social networking sites are typically free to join, some with paid membership. But just about all with members having their own home page with a passport photograph, some basic personal data about your self, your friends my also be listed on your home page, it's very common for your friends to communicate with you by posting public messages.


Some are getting rich from our social networking, Say what you ask? Well it comes from all the personal data being warehouses and sold off about you. Yes, maybe to your own Government!


Yes I'm on some of these Social networking sites, LinkedIn and Facebook to name just two.

Seriously, it really BULL looking for a new job (Career) . I lost my job pretty suddenly over a BULL situation , so I'm out looking for work. I am, trying to convince employers that I live up to my resume. Then I get to email telling about "skill sets" they need and "processes" in place to "service clients" and "meet expectations" and so on and so on.

Still, my 3 hour commune home everyday in the SF Bay area sounds better all the time.

Looking for a career has caused me to recall that BULL and it can be applied many times over as both a noun and verb when it comes to job hunting. You know all those questions. That the HR person insist on asking you. In most case's they're always the same generally questions. And all this just to hear, "

You are so over qualified that they would expect to lose you very quickly"

The last time people talk this much and say so little, I was watching the News for 2008 U.S.A. presidential election.


Let's face it most us just BULL those answers to get hired. So it's not really your competency to work that they're gaging, it's your BULL skills.

Why do you want to work here at this company?

Because the other company wouldn't let me work for them and I need money. I'm sorry was there any other reason why anyone would be willingly work here?

Why should we hire you?

Because I have no standards this point. I'll work at your crap job and pretend to respect you in exchange for cash.

What are your motivations for working here?

Because I like to have food on my table and a roof over my head. And I need money to live on!

And does every Human Resources Management use the same email? .

"Thank you for giving us the opportunity to review your qualifications regarding employment possibilities. The interest you have expressed in joining blank company, is greatly appreciated.

We are currently evaluating the qualifications of all applicants. After a careful review of our staffing requirements, the most qualified candidates will be contacted to determine their interest and availability.

Again, thank you for your interest. We wish you success in your future career endeavors.


Regards,
Human Resources

Note1: Have some patience. Because the average period between jobs in America is nearly five months. That can feel like a long time. Don't forget to laugh at the BULL you hear from Human Resources Management and Recruiters.

Note2: Check out the local recruitment website so that we can concentrate on what might be suitable for you.

Note3: Keep or Resume or Curriculum Vitae (CV) short, Because most Human Resources Management and Recruiters do not like to read or they just can't read. Most never read pass page 3 of your CV.

Note4
: Also thanks to technology you can now do things like job blogging, video resumes, etc.

Note5
: This Hot! While it's a no-brainier to focus on how best to answer those typical interview questions, don't forget to pay some attention to that other 85% of what you're communicating non-verbally. It can pay dividends after your interview when you realize your body often speaks louder than your words.

Note6:
Don't wait around for any follow up from Human Resources Management and Recruiters. Sometimes no news is good news. "The timetable of the recruiter and the timetable of the job seeker are never the same.

Note7:
Before sending any cover letter, resume, or follow up letter get another person to look at it. After all, "the only thing worse than not sending or cover letter, resume, or follow up letter is sending one with a typo.

Best Regards,
Job seeker

Is talking about other people behind their backs a bad thing? Well I think so. I had this happen to my wife the other day and it upset me hear about. why because what was said was not true. The big joke is people pretend like they really hate to do it right before doing it! As far as I'm concerned talking behind people's back's is all the rage here in the Philippines. On both the receiving and giving sides. But if you are going to do this please tell the truth about this person. After all it is better to tell the truth and make someone cry than to tell a lie just to make someone smile.
