Oh, and quick PSA from elbales: If you see a "Career Cruising" meme going around, please don't participate or pass it on. It's not a free quiz--it's on a pay site, and by using whoever's login/password it is, you're going to get them into a huge amount of trouble. As wendymr has pointed out, it's a site for professional career counselors and their clients, and my suspicion is that one of those clients leaked the password, probably to their friends, and it went wild from there. So, you know, for the sake of this poor counselor, please tell people to delete or lock their meme entries or not participate at all. I don't know if the counselor can change his/her password, either.

*is sheepish*

Sorry if that's the case.

ETA: Actually, I knew going into it that it was a pay site. Thing is, I thought it was a pay lump-sum type thing, and, looking into it, I see that's the case. My first cynical thought as I went to check it out was that someone wasn't happy with what they paid for, and were out for revenge, internetz style.

What I also see is that they offer a one month free trial, which is almost certainly the case of the whole meme thing. (Everyone knows not to use a real word as a password!) So... I suppose it is still technically stealing, but at the same time, it is also, as [livejournal.com profile] zalena pointed out, possibly very shrewd advertising on Career Cruising's part.

I don't feel so bad anymore, anyway. Thanks.
