Will Oremus writes an article on October 3rd, informing readers on how their online activities might cost them their next job. He begins his article, describing and showing how California recently passed a law forbidding employers to get access to the job applicants social media accounts. He continues by using a very harsh tone of voice showing his disagreement, with many companies by judging someone based on private things they post online. Oremus stingily provides evidence on how users assume their messages will be kept private. After many strong and well verbalized paragraphs, Oremus uses direct examples from interviews, and says "Olanoff explains that Klout score is useful in some context and not in others…" He also states a very important thing, that wraps the whole theme of the article, he explains that when applying to a job be wise, on weather or not you will be judged by something on your Facebook account, and if so change it or do not post it.
Oremus writes a well written article, telling his readers about the influence of online activities have on job applicants. He begins his article by explaining that California already has passed down a law forbidding employers to ask applicants access to their personal information in media accounts and how many other places are already trying to pass this law. He continues to explain the role of media in the lives of people and shows his disagreement on the evolvement the job has with they applicants personal life. But he also justifies that may people now that online media isn't always private and can go public. Oremus explains that if someone wants to get into a goof job that asks for access to their media accounts, make it a good account and don't post inappropriate things that may cost you, your job.
