As an employer that was the first thing we did before the interview, check their social media footprint. If it was too egregious we cancelled the interview

I don’t have Facebook and I would not let them check.

The last job I had they did check my Facebook account before the interview and they hired me anyway.
Jenny1234 · 51-55, F
I’m the person at work who checks them for people we are going to interview. Make your page completely private!!

Employers believe that they can follow you 24/7, if not friends of the manager would report my right wing views
Barefooter25 · 46-50, M
No and even if they did, they're not going to find nothing since I'm not on Facebook.

I got a job in a sensitive data department once and was asked about my lack of social media presence, probably for security reasons. I just told them I thought social media rots your brain and that was that. There was nothing to find, so they never followed up

no, that's none of their business
If they did, I still have friends in high places, I could call and have them dig up all kinds of dirt on that employer to bring to public attention... see how they like it... 🤔

They hever have but I don't use Facebook. I was always careful about what I posted. I really didn't like to post much. It's just not my thing. But it is out there just abandoned.

I believe most employers do before hire but I would just keep stuff private then if I ever added them after getting the job they could see my stuff I suppose
Thankfully I don’t post much

That has not come up at my workplace, which is surprising actually because I keep hearing about university teachers getting in trouble for social media posts.

I don’t know many people who still use Facebook.
I gave it up years ago.

@DazzaTheHutt facebook is merely.for showing off or maybe letting your friends know you're still alive that's why I'm not active there anymore.
Jinxie · 51-55, F
Our company does, they have strict rules around social media.
It’s a shit show around review time.

I have no idea but it wouldn't surprise me. There's nothing on it that would cause me concern.
Punxi · 26-30, F
Never had one save a ghost account. Facebook is the best reverse phonebook you can find.
RoxClymer · 41-45, M
never had it personally happen but heard of all kinds of stories
ExtremeNext · 31-35
Nope
They didn't even do a reference check

No Facebook page, no problem.
bijouxbroussard · F
That’s a good idea. It’s actually one of the many reasons I don’t have Facebook, Instagram, Twitter…
GunFinger · F
@bijouxbroussard I'm not active on Facebook anymore too. I only post about/for family & just react at hilarious posts there. I don't know what I've done the past years though.
ViciDraco · 36-40, M
I was hired before that got too widespread. 17 year anniversary coming up in October

You need to be careful of what you post while you have a job too. Just remember that.
