Lots of people on facebook.but u can never find them on search, wthether u use their fone numbr or email

Re: How Your Actions On Social Media Affect Your Job Search by galantjoe(m): 3:42pm On Jul 16, 2015
thank u op.

u talk tru.

because of the ownership of business is different from the management of business nowadays that is professionalism in business, the owners are using every means even occultic and spiritual means to screen the any job applicants or any employee they want to entrust their business to run for them. I was a living witness.

So mind ur comments on facebook or any social media.

What if I don't use social media? And by the way, where they do that at?
Re: How Your Actions On Social Media Affect Your Job Search by BeauHomme: 3:51pm On Jul 16, 2015
I once had a similar argument with a classmate. Ours had to do with the title of the email address you use to send applications. I had adviced someone to open a new yahoo account and stop sending applications from his 'funky' accounts (those types like badoo247@yahoo.com, casanova4eva@yahoo.com, etc). This other dude overheard our discussion, jumped into it and tried to discredit all that I had said, claiming "it doesn't matter", "no employer has the right to reject you on such 'flimsy' excuse", "that will be prejudice", blah blah...

At a point I tire for d dude, I just keep quiet de look d guy

Cool, but this goes far more than what we post on social media but also how we live our lives, you just don't know who might be watching or paying attention.

All in all, at all times, in all places, in all sites, be the best you can be and never forget to have FUN

If there is anything Nairaland operators need to frequently put on the front page, this is surely the best. Then, those foul comments should not be published or the OP should be ban for a period of time. Try to bring some sanity to the forum.

Just surprised most of you commenting don't know this basic reality. Especially your Facebook, very important and first place to run a background check on you which is very much in use today by many blue chip companies.
Re: How Your Actions On Social Media Affect Your Job Search by Mcowubaba: 4:13pm On Jul 16, 2015
Leave dem!! Some people no sabi grin
But its easy sha..
Screen nd Delete any "impolite" picx, videos or comments..
In cases like nairaland- Modify or deactivate cheesy

Or simply use a fake name/moniker that is exclusive to only u or few of ur friends..
Over 70% of Monikers in Nairaland are in this category... Eg. Introvert, prettythicksme, barcanista... wat do the mean cheesy.. M Joking oo..

It's an employer's loss if he/she judges me based on my social media profiles, except for LinkedIn. I couldn't care less, especially if I know what I'm capable of doing.

true that.

I wonder who holy pass.

there was a guy here who used to claim he had a phd and a six figure income.

he also had some of the nastiest tribal rhetoric and most horrible tribal based persona in this place. Yet when challenged to prove his claims of being a phd with a good job, he happily posted pictures of his office and other personal things.

admittedly, maybe there was no internet when he got the job (which I doubt because I think internet was one of his qualifications), but still brings the question of who holy pass.

Apart from the purpose of seeking jobs, we really need to watch what we post here and other sites in general

true.

internet etiquette should not be for the purposes of job search only, people need to fear God and also show some decorum and consideration for others even if you don't subscribe to religion.

An applicant will give out his email address, phone number and full name. An extensive search do reveal a lot.
2000 applicants:
Educational qualifications reduce the number to 800
Social media reduces the number to 250
Tests reduce the number to 100
1st interview reduces the number to 30
2nd interview gets it down to 10.

It has nothing to do with uncles in the village. Check your phones or laptop
