Have you tweeted WikiLeaks? Be warned!

They should start to put a warning on social networking sites: Please tweet responsibly. According to an email sent by the Office of Career Services at SIPA on Nov. 30, all students looking for a government position must “NOT post links to these documents nor make comments on social media sites such as Facebook or through Twitter. Engaging in these activities would call into question your ability to deal with confidential information, which is part of most positions with the federal government.” So be careful what you post on Facebook—it may come back to haunt you! (Just like those pictures of you getting the “Tequila Birthday Special” at a Mexican restaurant downtown that you keep in a super private folder. Might be time to delete those as well, just in case).

    Dude, thanks Spectrum! I could’ve been very close to ruining my chances of a government position.

      My husband and i have been rlaely contented when Emmanuel could complete his web research from your ideas he made through the blog. It’s not at all simplistic to simply happen to be giving away thoughts others might have been selling. And now we fully understand we’ve got the website owner to appreciate for this. All of the explanations you have made, the simple blog menu, the friendships you aid to engender it is all excellent, and it is leading our son in addition to us imagine that that topic is interesting, which is certainly truly fundamental. Thanks for all!
