Would You Give Up Your Password to Get a Job?

Faceboook is for idiots. :2 cents:

Oh Hai!

Fuck! Roald would fire me on the spot if he logged into my facebook! He'd see the collection of penis pics I put up everytime a member sends me one and get penis envy!

But seriously...this is going a little far on the part of the employers. I've even read accounts where colleges and high schools are making students 'friend' the school so the school can keep tabs on them.



I've read of a few accounts of people who got turned down because they weren't into social networking. It's becoming a damned if you do, damned if you don't type thing.



If you were stupid enough to use your real name on your facebook account (or any social networking), setting yourself to private or creating a fake profile isn't going to work thanks to google. Especially if you've had it for a long time. That shit gets into the search archives and stays there for a very long time until google recrawls the page. If it doesn't get enough traffic, it could potentially stay there for a very long time and there's jack crap you can do about it (ask the girls who get drunk, put their naked pics on their facebook and it ends up on forums like this with their real names).

So if you used your real name, try to hide your social networking account from a potential employer and their HR is savvy enough to find it, you'll be turned down for lying instead of simply telling them no.

Whatever...if I give them my "alternate" Facebook password, I've complied with their request. If I take my profile pic off my main FB while I am searching for a job, and then give out my alternate FB password, I'd be fine.

Faceboook is for people that don't have real friends, or did, but they all are now married, have kids, or don't talk to you anymore. :2 cents:

Oh Hai!

fixed.

Only if me give me their password. I like to know who I'm working with as well. Otherwise: keep the fuck out of my private life.

They should practice what they preach.

Thanks for the 'current' story Will.

No, not everyone will do just anything.

More reasons to use Facebook only sparingly, if at all:



Connected all the way to the top. I guarantee the Feds and CIA are just licking their chops over all the info they get from that rat thief Mark Zuckerberg.

I don't have a space, I don't have a face on a book, and I am not a twit.

Employer: May I have your password?
Bob: No. Are we finished now?

Good point

Here's hoping you get drunk one time and do the same. The pictures will end up on here.

Show us the boobies! :drool2:

Unless if you're joining the fbi or something why the fuck do they need that info????

FBI? Fat Bastard Idiots?.

It's things like this along with thinking that a lot of it is silly anyhow why I don't use any social networking sites.

Of course not having a lot of friends helps eliminate the need for it also.
