Word of advise. Be very careful about what you do online. People who might hire you will search your name or hire a firm to do it for them. Facebook, Twitter and other similar sites are the places they search. If you have anything that could be viewed as a risk to the employer or that does not jive with the company's philosophy.You have a good chance of being denied a position. Coming from a guy who has experienced this first hand.

4 years of pain and unemployment could have been avoided if I just kept my mouth shut on many topics I talked about on Twitter and Facebook. Because of these actions. I am not employable even now. I am viewed as a legal risk, employment risk, a political risk. It is better to be bland when it comes to your percents on the internet. As much as that sucks, its how the world works now.
My advise for those who want to work in this modern world.

I'll say I'm thankful that I only use Facebook from time to time and once in a blue moon with Twitter. In a laboring job they don't care about things like that

Mike I was thinking, you could try working at a bottle depot in Oregon. I've been in Washington and they don't have return for refund but they do in Oregon. Bottle Drop is a particularly big chain in Oregon. The work isn't too strenuous and they don't care too much about Facebook or Twitter accounts.
