Nosa-Henry:
There is nothing private about facebook. Anybody can see anybody you want to see on facebook

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

dd_jay: 4me,no problem,will change password after dat

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

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!!!

sniperwolf: Simply say, "it's my private life and I will like to keep it private. Can we talk more about the job?"

flakkygirl: how about you give her this line. 'sure, i'll log in but first how about you share some of your sex life with me first cos my profile is personal to me as well and i'll lik to decide with whom i share it.' that will be very polite or wat do u think?

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

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).

phlamy: But if you actually google this issue, you will find out its now a HR practice in most countries
with or without privacy debate. I understand some HR people have a backend means of seeing your profile,
dont know how possible that is. Organisations just want to be sure they know who they are employing.

gramci:

very simple with email search

Jids: in most cases, they don't want to see it but try to see the level of your confidentiality.

The best way to answer the question goes this was.

I don't have any problems revealing this but as part of every company computer policy, while PASSWORDS is personal and part of company security and confidentiality policies, it should not be revealed to any unauthorized person. I'm such an individual full of respect to the company policies and adhere strictly to company confidentiality procedure.
