Hi,
A while back, I heard from my schools local careers adviser, or, think I heard, that when you go to apply for a job, the employer can somehow check your browsing history.
Is this true? If so, I feel extremely uncomfortable about this since my browsing data isn't exactly.. you know.. "clean". Plus, I look at and watch weird videos on Youtube.
as long as you do not plug in your computer into his network or a network he can control he will not be able to see it in a legit way. of course any hacker could get into your WI-FI network and see whatever he wants but this is illegal and I do not think your employer is a hacker. or, possibly, if you have a fixed IP and he knows it he could probably track your history but this is again difficult and should have a purpose. again, if you do not plug your computer into his network, legally and reasonably he can not do it. the adviser probably wanted to scare you enough not to browse for porn or other stuff
Yeah ok that would make sense. Thanks :)
