It's the last SDL. Really. We have had 2 + years of fun and games here at Security Weekly, but it's time for the SDL team to ride off into the sunset (or at least crash into the sunset billboard. I want to thank Russ, Paul, Sam, Mark, John and Joe for all the good times and great shows. Today, though we are going to do one last show covering "the interview". As Russ and I will have to interview for new hosting jobs soon, well, everyone has to interview for jobs. It sucks, you hate, we hate it, but you need to prepare. So, today, we invited Pam Fournier back to talk to us about questions with good and bad answers to interview questions. Hang around for the last one.

Ok, we've all been there, that glaring moment when you threw up in Dean Wormer's lap, when you told off the idiot in the parking lot that got the space you were angling for and it turned out to be the person you were interviewing with, or even when you asked walked into the interview with a list of demands and the interviewer laughed out loud. It happens. Now, Russ never blows interviews and I usually screw up royally but nevertheless, we decided to bring someone in that actually knew what they were talking about. We welcome Pam Fournier, career expert and advisor, today on Secure Digital Life.

Today, it's the Russ show. I am here but I am going to let Russ run it. Maybe it's an ominous sign of my impending doom. Hard to say. We are going to talk about Social Media. I mean this stuff has taken over the world in terms of how people communicate, interact, date, exchange ideas, you name it. But what about when it starts flying a confederate battle flag and encouraging you to molest cattle? What's the responsibility of social media companies to "censor" content or determine what should or should not be said? It's a brave new world as we talk about ethics, privacy, and security this week on Secure Digital Life.
