I could argue that I am a multi billionaire venture capitalist, thus have in depth knowledge of the world money markets, and you would have no real way (unless you knew me) of knowing whether I'm telling the truth.
Before you say that people wouldn't come on a forum claiming to know something they don't, or claiming to do some job they don't, I've actually seen people do both, on this forum. On one occasion, in the same post.
I'm not saying you don't do what you say for a living, I have no way of knowing, beyond what you say.
BTW, I'm not a multi billionaire venture capitalist. I wish I was a multi billionaire, but have no interest in being a venture capitalist.

This is why I never disclosed online who I worked for, far too much potential for unwarranted hassle.

Interesting. I always advise people not to mention where they work either; unless it's something positive.
I have had to deal with inappropriate facebook postings from both current and former employees. It's staggering how many are genuinely shocked that they can't post anything that floats into their mind because "it's their facebook wall"!!
They seem to think that the laws relating to libel etc disappeared the day the internet was invented. Also, they fail to realise that some comments, whilst not against the law, are still inappropriate and can lead to disciplinary action.
Many employers now insist that employees declare all social networking sites that they are a member of and the relevant passwords to them. It is against facebook t&c's to disclose your password to a third party; but most people prefer to do this as opposed to losing a job or not getting the job in the first place.
