Career Counseling meme PSA: Kill It!

Quote from [livejournal.com profile] cleolinda here:

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.


I really wince when I think of how far and how fast this meme has already spread and the number of people I've seen who filled it out, or filled it out multiple times.

Oh wow, just from my own flists I've probably seen at least a hundred people do it. O_o

That's troubling. I hadn't been paying one whit of attention to that meme, but I'll pass on the warning too.
