Employers use google before hiring you!!!

     Well, it is no secret that all employers search in social networking websites about the potential candidates before hiring, but I came across an article in the internet, that's just one of the things they are doing these days!! 

     Hmm.. I personally do all my shopping online, since it is convenient, shipping is mostly free, and no sales tax in websites like amazon, buy.com etc., But looks like if you are willing to spend some money, you can do something called "deep search" about a person, including his/her personal shopping wish lists, etc., That's scary.. I almost don't read most of the privacy policies before accepting the agreement, in any of the online store. Looks like I will have to start doing that... And also, I have to read the privacy policies of the sites which I already belong to..


    Here is the article which made me do all these:  http://money.cnn.com/2010/06/14/news/economy/employers_creepy_web_searches.fortune/index.htm
