George Zimmerman, who once shot dead an unarmed teen, threatened to kill another driver during a road rage incident in central Florida this week, police say.

Do you know who I am? the 30-year-old asked the man, identified by police as Matthew Apperson, during the incident Tuesday in Lake Mary, Fla., the driver told cops.

Zimmermans passenger asked Apperson why he was shaking his finger at their truck, Apperson told police.

But Apperson said hed been listening to music with his windows rolled up in his Honda Accord and unaware of the gold Honda Ridgeline following him.

I looked over - George Zimmerman was the driver - and they were threatening to kick my ass and to shoot me, Apperson told a dispatcher. I said, what are you going to do, shoot me? Im not messing with you.

The 35-year-old man pulled into a nearby gas station to call police and report the incident, during which he said the driver of the truck had been Zimmerman for a fact.

The truck followed Apperson in an aggressive manner into the lot and Zimmerman threatened to shoot Apperson dead, he told police. Zimmerman peeled off after Apperson went inside the store to call police.

Apperson was armed with a concealed handgun, which he is licensed to carry and which he removed while speaking to police about the incident.

Apperson called 911 again two days later to report that Zimmerman was waiting outside his workplace. Police responded and interviewed Zimmerman, who told officers he was visiting a doctors office in the Waymont Court plaza.

The man declined to press charges against Zimmerman, who was found not guilty in the February 2012 shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.

Employers continue to turn to social networking sites to find additional information on potential candidates and theyre not entirely impressed with what theyre seeing. A new survey from CareerBuilder.co.uk found that 55 per cent of employers who research job candidates on social media said theyve found content that caused them to not hire the candidate.

Forty-eight per cent of employers currently use social networking sites to research job candidates. Additionally, 12 per cent of employers that dont currently research candidates on social media plan to start.

Employers arent limiting themselves to just social networks when it comes to researching a candidates web presence. Half (50%) of employers use search engines such as Google to research potential job candidates, with 21 per cent saying they do so frequently or always.

So what are employers finding on social media thats prompting them to eliminate candidates from consideration? The most common reasons to reject a candidate included:

However, one third (34%) of employers who research candidates on social networking sites say theyve found content that made them more likely to hire a candidate. Some of the most common reasons employers hired a candidate based on their social networking presence included:

Its important for job seekers to remember that much of what they post to the Internet and equally importantly, what others post about them can be found by potential employers, and that can affect their chances of getting hired down the road, said Rosemary Haefner, Vice President of Human Resources at CareerBuilder. Job seekers need to stay vigilant, and pay attention to privacy updates from all of their social networking accounts so they know what information is available for others to see. Take control of your web presence by limiting who can post to your profile and monitoring posts youve been tagged in.

Haefner recommends the following DOs and DONTs to keep a positive image online:

Should teachers and students be friends of the Facebook variety? Should they text, tweet, snap or gram each other?

Parents want to know where the boundaries should be when it comes to educators and students using technology to communicate.

Tara Paige feels fine about digital communication. The Arlington, Texas, entrepreneur and mother of eight says her children sometimes use technologysuch as texts and social mediato correspond with their teachers and coaches. Im OK with texting one-on-one, she says. I believe in writing because it serves as documentation. And social media is a way for teachers to be leaders and role models with their students. It takes a village.

Teens will text...but should they text their teachers?

Meanwhile, Stefani McNair has tried to think of a reason why her kids and their teachers should connect via texts or social media, but she cant. I dont think any circumstances warrant students and teachers communicating that way, says the Oakton, Virginia, designer and mother of two teens. I think theres great potential for the lines of respect and influence to get fuzzy.

Considering that 95 percent of teens are online, according to the Pew Research Internet Projects national survey of teens and parents, and 81 percent use social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat, its understandable that technology is a convenient way for teachers to connect with students.
