Subject: Employers look on your FaceBook page?

If you have some free time and don't mind, please check out my Youtube channel, and maybe subscribe? I'd appreciate it.

I'd give it too them, I have nothing to hide or anything to make them not want to give me the job.

Unless they hate video gamers haha.

You can change your settings so they only see your profile picture. Or do they want you to accept a friend request too?

Please stop complaining about the 'death of a loved one' it's my job. They probably deserved it anyways. Here's a warning, if you keep making pentagrams out of the neighbors livestock I will personally come to your house and kill everyone you love. Now leave me alone, I got to get back to work.

I guess I know what I'm deleting.

Wake me, when you need me.

That's another reason why I have my privacy settings fixed to where only friends can see my info.

You have the right to free speech, if you're employer doesn't allow you a basic human right then it's not worth it.
Your facebook may decide if you get a job or not. I mean if you have things that your future boss doesn't like personality, that could could be a deciding factor. Like it or not.
i don't have a Facebook. But there is this hardware store near me on Airline Hwy that bans certain people from being employed due to ethnicity or orientatation or if they are Republican/Democrat.

Isn't that illegal?
yea but alot of work places are corrupt here in New Orleans. I only work for one of them becuase I have no choice, I need the cash

You should become a vigilante. But don't put it on your facebook. They might not hire you if they knew you were the one kicking their ass all the time.

I wouldn't really care about giving it to them regardless, considering I have family members on my friends list. I don't have anything there that I wouldn't want them seeing, so I most certainly wouldn't have anything there I wouldn't want an employer to see.

However it really bothers me how now of these days employers try to have complete control over your life.

I will happily give them my facebook url.

All they will be able to see is my picture, my name and what town I live in.

What if you have a profile on a BDSM site? Lawl. You are never getting a job.

If a company asked me to see my Facebook page, I'd ask them to see the records of every employee and managerial member. It's exactly the same situation - they're asking for information on you that's irrelevant to the job. So what if you're a sociable party-goer who likes a night out? As long as you work hard and get the job done it shouldn't matter - providing you're not representing the company if you're going wild.

Seems odd for them to go through anyone's Facebook.

Asking for your Facebook URL is ok for them to do. Anything you put on your Facebook shouldn't be something you're afraid to show your boss/family/etc

I've heard of some employers who ask for your Facebook email and password so they can check out your Facebook and see what you are hiding though. That goes too far.

I wouldn't be too worried about that, considering what that would imply if they did find it. lol

Alt account #4 because i can!

just make your page private.

If an employer asked this from me, I would literally laugh in their face and just walk out.

I would tell them to basically stuff it. There's no reason for them to do that.

Yeah, over the past few years I have heard about employers doing that.

I don't have a Facebook, so they'll be wasting their time searching for me if they ever do.

I'm guessing so they can look at your likes.

With the type of likes I have if you look at my homepage. You would see something that looks like it's from a pr0nz site.

I would tell those potential employers to suck a bag of dicks.


Or jump into a sea of dicks.


Or get hit by a meteor of dicks.

You're always representing your company, whether you like it or not.

Looking at your Facebook and looking at a company's records aren't the same thing at all. Your Facebook page is information that you're sharing with the public willingly. A company's records are private (and that might be protected by law). What is 'relevant to the job' is determined by the company who is hiring, not by the employees.

In short, don't make it public if you don't want anyone to see it.
