An anonymous citizen who applied for a city job alerted local media
that he or she had to provide log-in information and passwords for any
and all social networking web sites they use while applying for a job
with the city.
Along with the normal background check, criminal history, education and
employment past, the following is written into the Bozeman city
employment waiver statement:
"Please list any and all, current personal or business websites, web
pages or memberships on any internet-based chat rooms, social clubs or
forums, to include, but not limited to: Facebook, Google, Yahoo,
YouTube.com, MySpace, etc."
You are free to comment on this discussion in any way you feel is appropriate. If you choose to use to use any language which our editors feel is vulgar -- by their standards -- your comment may be tagged "Crude or Lewd" and may be filtered out of the discussion by those who prefer not to read that sort of thing. If you know you have entered something which will cause your comment to be tagged, we ask that you tag it yourself to save us the time. We do encourage everyone to be civil and not make rude attacks on other people in the Forum. We don't censor out those remarks, but few people enjoy reading them and we would like participation in our Forums to be a pleasant experience for everyone. And, by concentrating on what is said instead of who is saying it, even those who may disagree with you will be more likely to consider your opinions valid.
