All you "MySpace" Kiddies...

[Double Trouble]

If you're stupid enough to 1) use myspace 2) put your real info on there 3) put 'racy' pictures of yourself on there, you clearly do not have good enough judgement to work any meaningful job

Am I like the only 20 year old who hates\doesnt use myspace?

That is a very crappy reason to be denied a job though.

I have a Facebook page, but I do not want a MySpace page, though I assume it would be possible to somehow create a MySpace page that doesn't utterly suck, as many of them do.

Just use the default layout and it won't look like ass like most people's do.

I'm 33 years old and keep a MySpace page. I find it a real boon to keeping in touch with people that would have slipped by the wayside. Honestly, people always say they'll write (email or snail mail) but how many of us really do. MySpace has enabled me to get in touch with people from HS and stay in touch with college friends. I don't use the default layout but I would say my page definately does not look like ass, nor do I keep anything there that I wouldn't want future employers to know. I have a song on there but it defaults to "paused" so that visitors to my page don't have to stop the music manually (even my chosen song is mild...Auburn's fight song played by the AU Marching Band). I'm not going to post the address of my page but it shouldn't be hard to figure out.

And private profiles ftw, but I digress.

Nope, you're FAR from the only younger person out in the world without one of those attention-whoring pages. We may be in the minority, but we're the ones sittin' pretty when all is said and done

Cheers :beer:

Girl from my old job was fired because "a concerned parent found her myspace and saw various inappropriate things and was worried about the safety of her children."

(When I worked at the museum).

Employment Application has a ton of personal information on it. You can pretty much find anyone easily with that much info. Heck, I've used Myspace to talk to people I found on dating websites for free only knowing their first name, age, town they live in and maybe their height.

I guess the next question...aside from racy photographs what type of content would disqualify a job candidate in your eyes.
