>What do you mean you don't have a Facebook?
>>47603617
I have something called "friends" that I interact with in "real life." It's a new thing you probably haven't heard of. I talk with thin "in person" and "go out for lunch" with them. The slang is weird, but I can get you in contact with them for verification. They use things called "phones" which have "phone numbers" which you can use to either "call or text" them.

>>47603703
Usually it's the opposite. Anyone who doesn't have a Facebook is assumed to not have friends by those with them. I wrote that sarcastically because the "job interviewer" is asking for ridiculous amounts of privacy invasion.
>>47603718

I got asked FB login creds when I got interviewed by Lockheed. I looked at the woman, laughed, asked if she was serious and just walked out.
The pay was decent but I ain't fucking working for a company that does that shit.
>>47604036
Was it for a job that required a security clearance?
>>47603547
I'm sorry, I don't have any social media accounts.
>>47604036
I work as an inspector for Lockheed Martin in the UK and was asked no such thing.
Dont know if that shit is illegal though.
>>47604047
Nope, but interestingly enough I now work at the air force research lab with secret clearance, and they wanted less info lockheed asked for.
>>47603934
You're right. Luckily, I'm posting as an anonymouse user on a Mongolian tapestry board where I can say things sarcastically without repercussion. Like this:

Everyone makes fun of /r9k/ but they're sort of right. "Normies" are slowly but surely trying to exterminate all non-normies. Which involved forcing them out of employment then gathering them up in a big truck and dumping them off a cliff.
>>47604068
It's because the government doesn't need social website information to give you a job. They've been giving out jobs for decades before this shit took root into our society. They'll just run a regular background check on you and maybe interview your family and friends.

I don't have a facebook as it's inferior to its competitors.
>>47604047
Wouldn't handing out your password be rather redundant for security clearance? At least here it's the "secret" police that hands those out, and they don't really need your password to know everything you're writing on the internet
>>47603547
Surely this violates Facebook's ToS. Then you would be in breach of certain covenants with Facebook to do so. Even if your state doesn't have privacy employment laws, you could still say that would be breaking the law.
"Did you clear this interview question with your general counsel?"
>>47603718
I had a teacher in middle school who said (during the introduction at the beginning of the year) that he used to say that there were no stupid questions, but that one day a student asked "Can you buy me some beer?". So now he doesn't say that there is no such thing as stupid questions.

It's not hard, spergs. Very few good companies are going to ask this anyway, at least if you're in a technical field. I've been in many interviews for engineering jobs and not once been asked something like this, because no one expect engineers to be ultra-social

Eh not really, it's a misconception that no one uses Facebook. People USE Facebook to like things but people don't post statuses very often nor is there an incentive to constantly upload nonprofile pics when there's Instagram/tumblr for that.
Old people actually like and comment on every page and make their own statuses, but college age kids like me use Facebook because of fb messenger and the constant stream of events happening

I have a big interview on Wensday and hope to god they don't want any social media from me. I don't have any accounts and I'm afraid some fag hipster with Twitter, Tumblr, FB, Instagram, etc accounts will get the job just because they're more "Linked in" with that shit.

I've been to perhaps 30 or so interviews the last four years, with various recruiters, web firms, Java/C# consultancy companies etc, and they've never asked me about social media in the interview. Ever. I've even interviewed for MS (on location) and Google (3 phone interviews), they never ask about this stuff
Having a LinkedIn however has *helped* me get an interview, since it appears that recruiters, HR and head hunters are trawling it in order to find potential candidates.
This whole "it says here that you don't have a facebook" and "please give me all your passwords" thing is nothing but a /g/ meme.
>>47606729

Sorry, after my previous employer asked for my password, my account got disabled for violating the Facebook terms of use, which explicitly forbids anyone from giving out their password.
So now I have an excuse for not having a Facebook.
You know, I would do it. Cuz I haven't done anything on facebook for about 4 years now
only times I logged on was to check facebook pages for companies I was interested in
>>47603547
the correct answer is fuck you followed by also I don't use facebook and then find a real job.
>>47606576
Unlikely.
>Smartphones
For a lot of jobs, probably. They're essentially handheld computers, and quite useful for a shitload of things.
If this happened when I was applying for a job, I stand up, shake the interviewer's hand, and with a smug smile, say "Thank you for your time"
>>47610666
personally i would stand up, let out a huge shart, and while shit is running down my pants and onto the floor, i'd maintain eye contact with the interviewer and yell "I JUST SHARTED, PLEASE CALL MY MOM !!!"
>the most I can give you us access to my Facebook profile that is public.
>What my private conversations are, with all due respect, are private, and should not be considered in a truly professional environment.
And if they got pissy, I'd walk out. Because clearly I wouldn't get the job if they went through my messages and private shit ANYWAYS. The sad thing is that this is a REAL thing that prevents people from getting jobs.

>>47603934
have you heard of "playing hard to get"????
This tactic works more often than you would think. They key to the interview is to act like you don't even want the job and to keep checkin your watch while the interviewer is talking to you.
>>47606476
There's this new thing called mass text messages that let you send messages to multiple people to make it easy to plan shit.
>>47610794
Unless you have an extremely good resume and the place you are applying for is desperate for someone of your qualifications, playing hard to get is the dumbest shit you could ever do.
>>47610794
That just tells the interviewer that you're uninterested in this job and would not be a good fit. If you're not even interested in the job, it's quite likely you'll do something like leave after a month after hiring.
>That's not happening, sorry to have wasted your time
>>47610820
yeah playing hard to get is kinda stupid but then again so is showing your desperation to get hired
>>47610794
This. You also have to be desirable, though.
I've had people flat-out tell me that there is no room for negotiating salary. This happened in the current job that I have - the offer was $64k.
I was offered the job, but declined saying, "Honestly, it sounds like a fantastic position, but because of the changes I'd have to make in my life, the salary just isn't worth it at this point."
I got a call later in the day offering me $73k. I accepted.
Friendly reminder that shit like that never happens.
>>47606752
>I've been to perhaps 30 or so interviews the last four years
why do you get fired a lot?
"My Facebook password is empty string"
If the interviewer isn't a programmer, they won't understand that the implication here is that I don't have a Facebook password, primarily because I don't have a Facebook.
>>47610819
Not as convenient; mass texts can act funky across different platforms. Some people still don't have smartphones which excludes them from the conversation.
I use Facebook, just not very much
>>47603547
If a job requires you to have a facebook, it's a job not worth having.
Unless its for a social marketing position that's a pretty stupid question.

>>47610930

>>47611011
I actually only use this at work when the office is empty, so I don't think it's that much of a time sucker
>>47611023
Yeah, I understand, it's just irritating. I would give someone my public profile, but to hand over my private messages and stuff? That's just unacceptable.
>>47611023
And that's exactly the fucking problem nowadays. An account on a social site shouldn't be the absolute, definitive line between someone well adjusted and someone who is not. That's a part of what the job interview is supposed to show the interviewer, not the availability of an account on the internet.
>>47611112
If anything no Facebook should be a good thing.
It means you're not going to spend time at work checking it and waste company time
>>47610962
>>I hate the fact that not having a facebook sends that message
It only sends that message to shallow fucks who, for whatever reason, think that it's impossible to have a great friendship without some gigantic corporation facilitating your communication.
>>47611493

>>47603547
>>47603585
What if I don't have a facebook?
>>47603731
>>they wont realise this until I've left the interview
Why not just give them the wrong password in the first place? The end result is the same. They wont be able to get into your account.
I had a facebook about 10 years ago, at a huge state university. I fucked a few bitches from it in the dorms. Then a few years later my mom and dad and everyone else wanted to friend me and get on it. I hopped off about 5 years ago, and never looked back.
Its like myspace - absolutely no point once you get older. Shameful, really. If you're not in my phone as a contact, then you're nothing to me or any other grown up. Theres a big difference between on-the-computer contacts and in-the-phone contacts. One is for little girls, the other is for men.

Depends. For instance, I live in a country where most people would probably ask you exactly how you are supposed to eat it when you mention 4chan.
In other parts, you run a chance of either people not giving a shit, or (the most likely outcome) be seen as some kind of social outcast who hacks webpages for a living and kills puppies in his free time, because that's the understanding that normalfags have of 4chan.
