MOTB ping...
Won’t happen, because it would be the end of their highly valuable search business.
I think I see the problem...
So typing “How to Kill Your Boss” in Google, probably isn’t a good idea.
This is why I use StartPage.
Let them look, I could care less.
“We hold your personal information to the highest standards of confidentiality. We would never sell it.”
Bwahahahaha.
“Rosie Odonnel nude”
“Barack Obama Pro-American”
“How to sue your employer”
“YEAH BOSS. I think we can delete this resume.”
At what point can we go through our boss’s search history?
So my guess is that you’ll be able to find the search history of your boss too. If google thinks this is a good idea, they’re bigger idiots than I could have ever imagined.
From the article:
“It will reportedly be a recruitment tool similar to LinkedIn — however, early reports suggest it will be available through your personal Google account.”
They get to this exactly how?
“If that’s the case, it will link things like your search history and YouTube account with your job applications, laying it all bare for employers to see.”
as long as I get to see my interviewers history, no problem
Sounds like a GREAT class-action suit..!
I believe PUNITIVE damages are based on the financial “size” of the tort faisor, right..?
I SHUDDER to contemplate how high they might go with the “Don’t Be Evil”-set.
BILLIONS..??
Won’t happen because it would be evil. Don’t be evil.
This invasion of privacy by Google is exactly why my new Android smartphone is turned off and sitting in a drawer — forever. Sadly, I learned after the 14-day return period that you must create a Google account for full functionality. Not gonna happen. I’ve been shopping for a flip phone or a BlackBerry — while paying a ridiculous amount monthly for something I can’t use.
Quickly? Hahahahahaha!
This person has obviously never spent a minute trying to glean any useful data about a prospective employee using Google. It's easier said than done.
There are things that I don’t research on the internet, for this very reason.
If you’re looking to see how bad it is, you’re instantly considered to be interested for the wrong reasons.
I landed on one web page years ago, and it was so bad I notified the FBI about it.
They acted about as concerned as if I’d just said, “Yes, I’d like butter on my toast, thank you.” It made me question if I’d every tell them about anything else I happened across.
I switched to duckduckgo.com this weekend over the whole easter thing. That was the last straw for me with google.
