Everyone got hobbies. Tbh, I'd be more worried about the flow in the opposite direction: some TL troll that finds your professional online presence could be pretty annoying if they so choose. | ||

No need to be a crappy poster, you just have to mention in some posts that you're browsing TL at work to be in trouble^^ | ||

I am not even sure that it's legal (because at least in Europe, it is illegal to ask many sorts of personal questions during job interviews), but it happens all the time.

Thus, my real life is easily linkable to by online presence and I don't care. You can find my real name in ten seconds if you give it any try and as my real name is pretty unique and my work is by essence online, you can know everything you want very easily. | ||

Well yeah, some jobs are more favored than others in that regard^^ And I agree about online stuff and recruiting, though if I was a recruiter I'm sure I'd do it, at least just to see is the appliant doesn't have heavily expressed extreme political views or bad behavior towards former employers. | ||

It's not a real problem (at least in research) that your potential employers go and dig up dirt on you on TL. The one thing that worries me a little bit is if someone on TL really hates someone and then dig up their twitter or other social media used professionally. They can then cause some significant embarrassment and in general be really annoying when you want to focus on networking. I've seen it a couple of times, and even though everyone knows that it is the stalker that's the idiot, I can still see how an employer maybe would think twice if there is another similarly skilled candidate. What do you think? | ||

What do you think? I really don't do "networking", so I dunno But can't you just block the annoying person on most social networks? In any case, if I were a recruiter, I wouldn't pay much attention to this stuff, knowing how skewed view of reality it presents. In general, I would really like to see more rationality in ... everything, ergo also in evaluation social media information. If everyone knows that it's the stalkers fault, everyone should act like that. Surely, there is this "similarly skilled" problem, but does that really happen so often, if the evaluation isn't really shallow? From my personal experience, people are really different from each other. But then again, I have zero experience with non-academic jobs. Here recruitment is more like dating - both sides realize that it's a great match and then the deal is sealed. But even again, I know that this is not the case even in academia in other fields or countries. | ||

Eart Land the III Funnily enough, while most people probably use the online nickname as a shortcut, my real full name is one letter shorter (or the same length, because I'd have to type the space anyway). Or it may turn out that everyone else used the same naming convention as Heartland, poor Fecalfeast though. | ||

But even again, I know that this is not the case even in academia in other fields or countries.I'm in academia as well, and you are right that it's probably not a big deal. I'm networking a fair bit on Twitter myself, it's a good way to stay connected with overseas community seeing that I don't get funding for EU/US conferences often in Au... Even if I can block stalkers, it'd give a bad impression to others that don't know me, or so I imagine. But yeah, probably not a big deal. Actually I'm thinking twice before posting this already, as I'm sure you can track down my name and Twitter from my post history... :o hopefully unmotivated... | ||
