Social Media and getting a job

As much as we all think it’s an infringement on privacy more and more companies are asking for your social media passwords, so they can really see what kind of person they are thinking about hiring.

Even though as laws preventing this are working their way through state legislators. So far none of these proposed laws have even come up for a vote, or let alone arrived on the desk of any governor.

I echo what others have said. Do not even tell any company that you put an application for a job that you even have a Facebook or Twitter account. That you don’t believe in social media.

If you think that simply isn’t going to happen. I go on record to suggest this. Set up an account just for future employers to see. One showing your a clean and sober employee, one who loves their parents and are kind to animals.
