I should I mention TSR in a job interview?

Last time I had a job interview I was asked what websites I enjoy in my spare time, I really paniced as I didn't want to mention this site (in case they trace me) so what should do I?

I ended up saying Microdirect which probably made me look like a right geek :biggrin:

No because what if they decide to search through your posts?

well I certainly wouldn't just say something general like a variety of student sites mention it among aload of random sites and I'm sure they won't ask for your user ID and trace you.

They can't really trace you unless you give them your username, right?

I seriously doubt they'd bother to trace you. I would've thought that being a moderator for a popular, useful website would be quite an asset to your CV.

In all honesty and respect, I don't think they would care.

I think they'd just ask like generally, just to find out more about your interests and stuff, like if you add sports to a CV or something you don't really do, they aren't going to turn up at the leisure centre to check you really do play sport or whatever. I think they just ask questions like that to find out more about you they wouldn't be able to trace you I don't think, i don't really think they'd bother spending hours doing that, I think they're more bothered about you as a person and that you can communicate and stuff really. Tell them your a Moderator, because they like to know what you take up extra responsibilities and stuff. good luck!
