....listed under hobbies/pastimes on their CV, would you be more or less inclined to take them on?!

On one hand you could have a like minded individual in your employ, on the other, you wouldn`t be able to let them have use of a computer!!

I work from home mostly so I have to be very disciplined - my "business hat" goes on at 9am sharp and Pistonheads doesn`t get looked at for the rest of the day.

To prove my point, the time now is 9 erm 18 D`oh!!!

Yet another move Nick?!!!

I know at my place of employment they do a google check on your name and have refused at least one person because their name came up frequently on internet discussion boards with lots of unsavory opinions. Luckily I'm not stupid enough to use my real name
