You can do what you like, but if you swear at me and call me f* I'll not hire you.
That's ridiculous. Good managers let their employees vent, when necessary, and don't take it personally. Insecure ones get all uppity about things like that.

#172Time to get your game face on. I'm a CEO, we're hiring but not in your skill area. Having interviewed a lot of candidates lately and looked at many more, I wanted to give you my 2c on getting into extremely hirable shape fast: Update your LinkedIn profile as someone has mentioned already. Sweeten it up, get a great looking but professional profile pic up there, get kudos from friends, etc. Do the online profile clean…
I guess beggers can't be choosers, but you're describing an employer I would never work for. > Remove any controversial political views or disparaging remarks about previous employers. If a person keeps their stupid political views to themselves while at work, it's really not any of their employers business. As far as disparaging remarks go, if it's an awesome company to work for, there shouldn't be anything to worry…
Of course, politics goes beyond the pageant of professional politicians we call elections. (For example, saying "corporations are illegitimate entities" is political. Or "corporations are structured as dictatorships, and that's where you spend much of your lives". What would we expect a corporate gatekeeper to do, upon seeing that?)

http://www.eeoc.gov/laws/practices/ "As a general rule, the information obtained and requested through the pre-employment process should be limited to those essential for determining if a person is qualified for the job;... employers should not ask for a photograph of an applicant . If needed for identification purposes, a photograph may be obtained after an offer of employment is made and accepted." It surprised me…
They're not allowed to discriminate on whether your resume contains the right collection of trendy buzzwords either, but that's what HR systems sit and do every day.
You play the game that exists, not the one that's written in statute.
