mumumugu: If i let them check my status, it will automatically disqualifyme. Who will employ one who uploads pornography?

biafranqueen: This is a common practice, maybe they tried to look you up but your name did not show. As an HR manager the responsibility is to weed out the good the bad and the ugly. Even if you have the skills, you must fit into the company culture. If you are updating every hour instead of being productive, them most likely that is what you will do on the job. I have seen disqualifications because a boy has a naked picture of a girl laying on a car( sexual harresment and pervert) Weed smoking and alcoholic beverages in the picture (addict) degrading or negative updates (troublemake) friends look like Aswhos and cult members (bad characters) No employer wants to waste time and money on hiring and training a misfit. Thank God for social media! Thats why the saying go when the wind blows the chickens Nash will show.

Nobody wants to deal with irresponsibility when money is being made!

alala dakosta: abeg i need two hefty guy here, my car just brokedown.need to push it.

ehizo25: For me, no qualms. I'll just make sure I carefully monitor the interviewer so he doesn't go where he's not supposed to go. Just my wall abi? You can have a look. I have no skeleton to hide. Besides, you'll likely discern some of my not-too-ovbious qualities.

But I must make sure I change my password afterwards just in case there's some key-logger on the pc.

And ehen, if you don't find anything untoward, make sure you give the job.

Lyth: Folks here jst running their mouth abt privacy n all dat s.h!t (ébi a pá yin orun yin a gùn!)

.... Seriouzly, it all depends on how badly the job is needed, if u need d job badly n u aint a person on FB then y da hell not? Besyds most of dis HR folks alredy knw who u r frm FB either thru ur email, line or name-combo.

spicy v: Now, that is one nosy hiring manager! I mean, what's cool about being proud or comfortable with allowing a stranger manipulate me into permiting an invasion of my privacy? If you need to do such, then at least be sensible and respectful enough to do it subtly!

Smart HR managers can get information on job applicants from the social media they frequently use without being so obvious! Frankly, I just think its rude!!!

didicold: D question is somewhat misleadin, we should note dat d hiring manager never asked for d password, she asked for d candidate to log in, and as d screen is turned towards d person,@least a modicum of privacy is observed, one can always change passwords.
I know its unusual but i dont think its too strange considering some ppl's names are unspellable on facebook especially wit some current fads "Horlayeancah"(olayinka), and dis is even one of d easier ones, as for me, i would login by myself and give her d pc to check me out online, i am one of those once-a-year posters, so i think am good.

cashkid18: as long as i can get d job,i wil gladly do it..there is no big deal there

point45: Very simple. I'd politely ask what information she's looking to have access to and suggest alternative ways of getting them. I cannot log in on a strange computer for security reasons (and that will also apply when you have an organisation account.) Keystroke logger alert.
Talking about alternative, how about you log into facebook and from there,I can direct you on how to view my profile.
The organisation needs to know you want the job and that they need you. However,they don't expect this to affect your decision making. If for a job you are quick to throw caution out the window,imagine what you'd do with company information just to secure targets. I want the job badly but I am not logging in on this system, you can let me get my ipad from my bag (or phone at worst).

tpia@:
I heard this is done overseas.

TRILLIONIAR: Abeg wating naija play

biafranqueen: big time they tried to pass a law that you can't do that privacy invasion but it was thrown out of court

Pastor Aji:

Ʊ are wrong. They want to know if you will divulge your password (it happened @ my workplace and I was affected....) or confidential information of the company. BUT in other words, they might want to know more about what you are

Hayjaycity: If you give out Ur password, you ave already failed the interview....its simply indicates you can reveal what is meant to be company's secret for a favour from an outsider, if such is entrusted oin your care. I see no reason why U can't tell the hiring manager, that your facebook password is strictly personal or U can just give it out for personal reasons. This shows you have self-dignity
