Erase all info on it and use only fakeinfo.
I'd do that if I did not have too many valuable contacts under my real name...
Yeah, basically that's what I have to do. I do keep those little harmless notes from people though to give it some semblance of authenticity/make it convincing.
It's just amazing really. We grew up being told not to be afraid to "be yourself," but now because it's "public" this Facebook thing you're supposed to be yourself on.... Yeah.... I honestly can't believe how stupidly important a Facebook profile is to something so simple as a job interview anymore.... Facebook is LinkedIn.... They finally found a way to get all kinds of private information on people: voluntarily.
Moreover, very few of my friends chat on that thing. [shrugs]
Additionally, my boss is squeezing more labor out of me on the weekends, essentially unpaid, because he doesn't see it as a big deal. The paperwork, book keeping and management has paralyzed his office for 4 months. I'm going to have to propose that he hire and actually pay me to do it, through the client or something. His cheap ass response will likely be "why should I pay you shit more than I do now." [head desk] This kind of illegal thing happens all the time, all over, but it's not a good job market out there, so people effectively have no remedy.
There aren't enough jobs for me to apply for to get out of here fast enough
