can an employer ask to sign into your facebook account during an interview? - Adam - 02-19-2014 12:47 PM
if an employer asks to sign into your facebook account during an interview is that an invasion of privacy , or do i have to do it? and also if do i refuse to sign into my account my chances of getting the job would be very slim

Why would he need to see your facebook page? What is he your mom? You shouldnt have to do that. I never heard of any jobs doing that.

they can "ask" you to do whatever, there's no real "privacy" when getting hired, anything you put on the internet is out there, if it's public, they will find it anyway, i never seen one ask before, but as far as i know, legally he's in the clear.

preposterous for them to even think it.

Recently there has been much controversy over this issue so what most people do is either say they don't have facebook or that they don't want them to look at it. Although this is slightly suspicious they can't take action and would only slightly reduce your employment chance. All in all it is something they may ask so be prepared and remember it's your choice

you just explain that you do not have a facebook account

Just delete everything, get rid of friends or block them from your newsfeed that aren't very good. They can ask you for your password and go on some other time.

Just set your Facebook where only friends can see it and say you don't have one.
