On the "Privacy Settings" page in Careers 2.0, I selected "Block all messages and searches" in the "Employer Searches and Messaging" section.
This caused an "Advanced Privacy" section to appear, it says:
Below are employers who you have previously messaged or who listed jobs you've applied to. These people can view your profile and send you messages. You can revoke access to any or all of them.
There are a couple of companies listed, but I haven't contacted any companies.
Some details on my activity in case it sheds light on the situation:
A few weeks ago, I made my profile visible for the first time.
I selected "Not looking, but open to being contacted" and made my profile public.
Today when I made the profile private and selected "Block all messages and searches", the list of companies appeared.
My questions:
1) Why would the list of companies appear when I haven't been in contact with any companies?
2) If I had been in contact with a company, where would that be shown? (This list only appears when I block employer contact).
