    No.

    However, anything that requires security clearance or is PR for the employer will (in the US at least).

    If you want a job that needs clearance, I recommend closing your social media now, stopping all drugs now, and wait at least 7 years before applying to those jobs. Limit travel. Work to have any mental health records destroyed (idk if you can actually do this) and cancel therapy. Stop using Lemmy, and don’t do anything that remotely indicates that you associate with divergent cultures (i.e. communism or anarchism).

    For PR - just stay off social media and drugs and don’t talk about work except in an extremely positive way.

      I didn’t realize that I was a commie for using Lemmy. Just kidding but love the way that you wrote that sentence

        I’m certainly not kidding about it. Associating with communism or people who associate with communism is a big NO. And it doesn’t exactly make sense anymore, but that’s the FBI for you

          Its even technically illegal to be employed by several state governments if you’re a communist. Or its technically legal, but there’s old laws from the Red Scare era which are no longer officially enforced saying its illegal.

      It takes 7 years for all the paperwork to go through, so it isn’t necessary to wait. :P

      Closing any social media that might be an issue. Start a fresh social media to randomly sprinkle with bland normal stuff isn’t a terrible idea since not having any social media is apparently also a red flag.

        I don’t understand how not having social media is a red flag. I know people look at it funny, but I don’t get why.

          People just assume you are hiding something if you aren’t sharing.

          People are dumb.
