I'm not 100% sure what you're asking but if I understand you right, you are an employer and you are wanting to know if you should invest time and energy in developing employee profiles.  \n\nIt might be worth it to you IF you have relatively high volume hiring needs and you find that there are some employees who are superstars and others who aren't.  What you may be able to do with profiling is to figure out what it is specifically that superstars bring to the job that the other employees don't.  It may be experience but more than likely will be less tangible factors such as:\n\nCommunications skill\nInnovation\nAbility to mentor and coach\nBusiness Acumen\nAbility to persuade\nPassion for learning\nEtc.\n\nIf you can identify the things that make your stars stand out you may be able to adjust your hiring criteria to put more weight on those aspects.\n\nA minor caution is that sometimes too many stars is too much of a good thing.  It can create bottlenecks in the flow of people being promoted, which can frustrate the very stars you worked so hard to attract.

What do you mean by a "list" of people. If it is personal information then it is impossible to get. If it is a survey to see which groups of people use it, you might be able to find it.

Profiling is an investigative technique and forensic science with many names and a history of being practiced on many levels for many years.  It is extensively represented and glamorized in books and film.  It is most commonly associated with law enforcement, although profiling takes place in other areas and in other contexts not limited to criminal justice (Harris 2002; Bumgarner 2004).  There is fundamental difference, however, with criminal justice profiling as normally, one is looking for an "unknown" person, not just profiling a celebrity or known individual on the basis of public domain information.  Many dictionaries and encyclopedias tend to call this offender profiling or criminal profiling.  The next most common names for it are psychological criminal profiling, or simply psychological profiling. The FBI approach produced the name criminal personality profiling. Criminologists tend to think of it as a type of applied criminology or clinical criminology, and some in criminal justice tend to strongly associate it with crime scene reconstruction and detectives or former detectives tend to call it criminal investigation assessment or crime assessment. Alison & Canter (1999) say that profiling almost always takes place after a crime scene has been examined, but there are many profilers who only work with crime scene records and reports and consult from behind a desk.  Holmes & Holmes (2002) prefer the name sociopsychological profiling, and like many others, think of it as a type of behavioral investigative analysis or criminal investigative analysis.  There is a tendency in some circles to believe that profiling is a learned ability which comes from experience working as a detective (the so-called "feel" for crime, or the profiling-as-art dimension), and this is WRONG since good profiling will blend educational and training backgrounds.  To be a good profiler, one needs to have knowledge of sociology, psychology, psychiatry, and criminology, as well as the ability to blend the theories of these disciplines with common sense.

From friends I have in this field of work, I was told their interviews dealt much with how they would react in a given situation... I guess your studies in Psychology should help there. I know for the in the state I live in... job interviews involving law enforcement and high security work are drawn from the MMPI or MMPI-2 (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory). There are a multitude of websites you can research such interview questions.\n\nI know you can count on the interviewers will be looking for strength of character, quick-thinking, and integrity. Good luck.

Actually the chances of getting caught are not quite that good, but they are VERY thorough. I've worked with many immigrants that have done the same and so far everything is good. I'm not advocating it, and the penalties are indeed harsh, but did want to say it does work sometimes. I've been offered the same many a times (though I must say I would classify none of them as "hot") but I am WAY too chicken to tempt it.

Tricky question!  Ideally, we would be running criminal background checks daily, especially with the sensitivity of people today around such issues.  \n\nThe reality is that background checks usually cost money, and that this isn't a viable option.  Minimally, I would strongly recommend an annual background check for all employees and volunteers.  Make sure to get them to sign a release each year, allowing you to complete this.  \n\nIN ADDITION, I would recommend (again, strongly) that you put a written policy in to place, signed by each employee and volunteer requiring them to notify you within 24-hours of ALL CONVICTIONS (not arrests or allegations).  Failure to do so will result in immediate termination, blah, blah, blah.  \n\nIf you have a local paper that prints the Police Beat, make sure you have someone reviewing this regularly, as you never know what you might find in there! This would be probably cause to have a release signed, and an additional background check done.  \n\nOh, and another loophole to throw out at you . . . are you doing your state background checks, or following the path of previous living places?  It has been my experience that smart criminals move to another state in hopes of flying under the radar.  \n\nIf there's anything I can provide to you (an example of our policy or release), please feel free to e-mail me and I'll fax or mail something to you.  \n\nBest of luck! -Scot

Racial profiling happens, but not on a large scale.  It is controversial, because it involves stereotyping.  Proponents would say that it helps reduce crime.  As a conservative, I would be as wary of that as I am about racial quotas (two wrongs don't make a right, and the best person should always get the job).

Lucky you, think I would start with comparing MDA with surveillance of threat nations. If you don't know what's out there, how can you defend yourself? I would then go into how the different layers of detection (sub surface, surface and air) are utilized in the EEZ. Also, would go into detail about how each agency does their own detection and how effective it is. Would also go back to pre 9/11 and compare to present and what is coming on the horizon. Lots of info to gather from many different agencies such as USCG, CBP, NOAA, TSA and of course, DHS. Good Luck

I have one and I like it for networking with the people of same interest.(Music, DJ, Music Artists networking, etc.)\nFrom my experience,\nIt's helpful for widening my music experience, but had the bad experience once. There was a time I was annoyed by certain individual. It just annoyed hell out of me.\n\nNow this is what I heard according to the friend.(he heard from the news supposedly)\n\nThere was a girl who worked for restaurant.(One of the popular fast food place) At my space, she mentions city that she lives at. The thing is... it's not a big city, so it only had very few fast food place. Guess what? The girl got raped and killed by the stalker. It seems that the stalker saw the picture of her and looked up for the place that she works. Because the city had very few of that fast food. He narrowed it down...\n\nmyspace.com is good? yes, but just be careful because there are some crazy people out there.

Pros - can smooth over a lot of inter-employee issues. Can act as facilitator between employer and employee in sensitive discussions.\n\nCons - Can induce fear that "someone is trying to manipulate me".

You can find out whatever is in their profile

No.\n\nThere are a few jobs that entail criminal investigation but profiling is not one of them.\n\nAlso, if you are attempting to come in as an officer you would not have an MOS per se, you would be affiliated with a branch of the Army.  Since the job of profiling requires background not only in criminal investigation but psychology it is not technically an entry level position.

You are probably rihgt but I think it the behaviour varies from amongst individuals. I think the best approach is to try to understand the persons background in terms of their socialisation. You may want to look at the individuals family, age, race , schools they attendend and their perception of what the job entails.

We use them now and can tell you that they are by far the best service we have ever used.  We used iprofile, jigsaw data corp, hoovers, and other crap services and found that ITS Profiles is the best, then iprofile, hoovers, and jigsaw is last. They suck big time.  You should use ITS profiles over any of these services if you are looking for Fortune 500 IT contacts.

When I, as an HR Director, ask an individual to tell him about him or herself, I am looking to see where they go with the question.  Honestly, I am NOT looking to hear about friend, family, vacations, hobbies, or interests.  I AM looking to something to give me a clue as to how this complete stranger sitting in front of me will fit in on our team.  I want to hear that they are committed/dedicated to an employer, I NEED to hear that they are dependable, I really want to hear that they are a team player.\n\nTypically the "Tell me about yourself" question is the first thing an interviewer will ask.  It is the interviewee's first opportunity to shine!  Often times at this end of this question I have made my decision.
