But, I will say that as a job seeker I also check up on those who contact me about an interview. I want to know how I measure up against him or her. Does this person have more experience than me or am I already over qualified? Does the person seem like a cool person? If I don't like what I find I've been known to back out before the interview day. I don't know if others do this but I've heard a lot of buzz about employers checking on job seekers and wanted to let all those companies out there that if you can find me, I can also find you.
