Can your posts on TD be detrimental to your chances of landing a job?

Does anyone know of of maybe heard of a situation where someone didn't get a job because the company they applied to knew they posted on here and checked their post history? Is having a TD account like having another other kind of Social media in the sense that you have to monitor what you post because it could affect you on the long run?

How the hell would they know that?
Did you put it on your resume somewhere?

Have you ever read anything on the OT? Because we arent all unemployable fatasses.
Though Trill stands no shot at being employed in a field which requires him to work around women alone.

I know all public sector jobs require blog post full disclosure prior to hiring...

Agreed. And anyone that I may go to work for is decieding my job fate on what I post here???? I will not work for them...........

it is a lot more anonymous than regular social media...and I think it would be tough to check out someone's post history if they were just applying for a job...
now, a good number of folks have posted inappropriately here and had their job/life affected after someone figured out who they were....
moral of the story is, when you do some stupid shite online, the risk remains long after you forget about it...

I'll say that I've helped someone get a job after them mentioning they were looking for one. Their post history seemed OK and reasonable.
Others I've not provide insight or contact info for after looking at their post history.

I believe that the general rule of thumb is that it only hurts if you put that you're Tier 3 or lower on your resumé. If that applies, just keep that section blank.

Yeah because the lingo is just so sophisticated around here that 18 months is just way too soon to pick up on it.
Or I'm just a genius. You decide.

Classic alter speech. I see you read Chris's book.

I would just not disclose anything. You disclose it, they dont like it, you dont get the job.
You dont disclose it, they find out about something terrible, you lose the job.
At least in scenario 2 you had a job for a while.

I insist that you report me. On the Help Board.
Whoops...

Keep online separate from reality, and you'll be fine. No IRL meetups, minimize the personally identifiable information you post. AFAIK, only one other person on TD knows who I am, and I intend to keep it that way.
