Thinking Ahead… • Sooner or later, everyone in the room will need to apply for a job, or in the nearer future, maybe an internship. • What are your credentials for getting a job or internship? • Break class into four groups. • Make a list of things employers (even the military) look for when hiring people (5 minutes) • Share with the larger group (5 minutes)
Employers hire based on: • Resumes • Extra curricular activities • College background • Fit/Personality • Background checks • Recommendations
Background Checks • Most private sector and government workplaces incorporate background checks. • What is a background check? • A thorough investigation of the candidate’s employment, education, and social history that helps ensure the employer that the candidate is the person he or she claims to be. • Sometimes, background checks expose a different picture than the candidate reported through resumes, interviews, and applications.

The www Resume • What can be accessed during a background check? • “Googling” a potential employee • Checking Facebook, MySpace, Youtube, etc. • Checking Sex Offender Registry • Checking Police Records • Checking Court Records

Choices Matter • Prevent potential employer from thinking you are sexist, racist, potential criminal, or just too immature • Keep your internet accounts “clean” • Remember everything on your account shows your true character • Don’t join groups that support racism, sexism, or discrimination of any kind • Don’t join groups that celebrate illegal activities • Don’t write anything that might be considered offensive • Don’t post offensive Youtube videos • Don’t post pictures that are demeaning or “dicey” • Check your accounts frequently to make sure nobody else has added pictures, videos, or remarks that will make YOU look bad
Preconceived notions about drunk drivers • Reckless • Alcoholic • Grungy, smelly, unshaven • Irresponsible Poor Judgment & Command are mutually exclusive
You make the call • Getting pulled over after having 2 drinks with dinner can get you the same record as someone who stumbles and closes down the bars at 2AM.
Preventing a DUI/DWI record: • Never drink and drive, even “just a few.” • Taxi • Designated Driver • Saferide Program • Just Walk or Wait
Right to Privacy? • Remember: • Anything you put on the internet is there forever • Any material submitted to Facebook becomes property of Facebook • Employers check Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, etc. • Privacy clauses are easy to get around if someone really wants to find information about you
