If you do that, you will be disqualified. That is just a test to know if you can reveal the company's secrete to anyone.

Your answer should be: "I don't think its safe to log in my private account in you computer, I have my reasons"

They too will believe that your reason is your secret.

Why would an interviewer want me to log into my Facebook? That's my privacy and I have the frigging right to say NO. Btw, the interviewer might b testing your privacy skills. Can you keep company's privacy contents private? Can one be trusted with sensitive data about the company, business operations? What about privacy and data policy. As for me I would reject outright and intone that my Facebook is a personal affair. Thank you..

Sharing your password is against facebook's terms and conditions. A jobseeker was the only one at an interview to decline revealing her facebook password and got the job. Read here:

Why don't they just install CCTV all over your house, or better yet, a mini-cam to wear at all times!

There's a difference between a background check and outright invasion of privacy.

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!

sometimes they think you have something to hide when you have no social media account or that you are behind in technology this may disqualify you trust me. When you have good stuff positive, posting articles that have to do with your career path. Pictures of family and friends that look like upstanding citizens. Positive lifestyle going to gym encouraging person you are deemed more responsible and trustworthy this is real life experience and having no account may give the wrong message.

tobechi74: Imagine you’ve been on the job market for about a long time.


Finally, you land a killer opportunity, pass the phone screen and show up to an interview with a hiring manager. Just as you think you’re about to close the deal, she spins her computer screen around and asks you to login to your Facebook account.
What do you do?

Would you be proud and comfortable to let them go through your wall
Why did u imagine dis kind of evil thing? Anyway, it's end tym tinz sha.

It is only in Nigeria that this kind of shyt can happen. Try it in any developed country and you would be pulling subpoenas out of your a$$ for the next 10 years. cheesy
