Bit of background:
So my son, who is 54 yrs. old, had been driving a delivery truck for Walmart in a new program they were testing in the Phoenix area. A few months ago, he wound up having surgery on his shoulder, and his down time exceeded what Walmart allowed. So as of a couple weeks ago, he was out of work and has been looking.
Now fast forward to last week. He came over the other day and told me I had to go online and delete any photo or mention of him on any of the hunting forums I'm active in. Naturally I asked him why.
Seems he had applied for a job and the guy doing the hiring really liked his resume. So he called him in for interview that would have taken place two days later.
However, the next day he called again and told my son, "I did an online search on your name and see you're into killing innocent animals. Because of that, I can't hire you."
He was right about the search. I put my son's name in google and the first thing at the top of the page were photos of him with dead critters. Several other hits led to others, including an archived thread on this site that I had Brian delete.
