At least one regional tried and successfully ID'd me prior to an interview. Careful what you post in public.

Very curious to hear what happened and how you found out they ID'd you.

Well for starters I was dumb and had my email very similar to my username. So I made it pretty easy for them. During the HR portion right after I answered the question “why us” they pulled out a print out of a negative comment I had made about their contract. Needless to say it caught me by surprise.

So just be careful and always remember there is no such thing as anonymous on the Internet. I’d say a general rule of thumb is to not lost anything you wouldn’t say in front of anyone in person.

I get the sense that some of them live for that kind of stuff. Hopefully they need you more than you need them.

Considering it’s a regional I would say that is almost certainly the case lol!
