You had better thank your lucky stars for losing out on the job for such flimsy excuse. I'm pretty sure your experience at such company would have been horrible going by their pettiness. It's beyond ridiculous for them to tag/judge you as unserious for a mere pseudoname 2 Likes |

I love this .....Buh painful u missed ur chance. I had written an article in time past against customized Facebook name, I remember then that my sch daughter attacked me, Buh was able to convince her. Mark Zuckerberg created it to be an avenue to reunite people that have lost contacts. A guy also share testimony on how his old time friend was able to link him for a job in his company. his story goes thus " my friend, who knew that I could do a certain task with ease then in the school days, remember my name when the opportunity came up, Buh we have lost contacts then, he was able to get me tracked via my facebook. if I had used funny name like "horpheyemi, Holuwhathobi etc. wat will have become of me pls friend it does not make any sense customizing ur fbook name. 1 Like |

Truth is little things count even when you believe that those things do not matter. Imagine a young girl being asked for her email address only for you to get things like ngoosexy@yahoo.com, lizzyhotlegs@gmail. Even the men come with the likes of ; kentoughwaist@yahoo, etc. All simply points to un seriousness. It's therefore surprising when someone with a name like precioussweetwaist@yahoo.com starts complaining of sexual abuse. Remember, he who fetched ant infested firewood actually invited the lizard to dinner. 3 Likes |

I remembered an applicant once applied for a job but lost it during the final interview with the CEO of company, just because his email is maxilinogunit4real.... The CEO of the company interpreted it as (Maxilino GUN IT 4 Real). He told us, he suspected him to be a cultist. A serious job seeker should use the modest email available. And, please note that if you are the type that posted rubbish online, better you don't give out your social media IDs to your employer, until at least you have gain their confidence. 1 Like |

Jadonjack: This is probably a low budget one man business! Trust me you are better off loosing the job than working for such lowly companies without proper structure! You see no real standard company would do it that way. What I mean is before you are even called background checks would be done and if they see such crappy facebook pages you wouldn't even be invited for the interview talk less of getting a one on one with the HRM! The fact that they even told you the reason you weren't hired is ludicrous talk less of checking it in front of you? Wow!! Oga please even if they call you back run!! Such lowly unprofessional companies are rubbish! 2 Likes |

Seriously that thing is just dumb and very stewpid... isn't it so surprising we complain how our names are misspelt in certifications or when someone pronounces it badly den come online to spell our names wrongly by ourselves.. If I were the HR, I wouldn't even only ask you out, I will make sure you never apply for any job in the company. 1 Like |

This is one of the biggest lies ever told! Which employer asks for your Facebook I.D? It's completely unethical. Number 2: you were shown the door because you customized your name on social media? Abeg get real and stop telling tales! |

Well let us not judge because the guy hasn't even told us the position and the job duties he actually applied for. Mayb it warranted that. If not I feel fbk is too social in nature and I feel a person could do as he feels just to socialise with his peeps. If the HR was professional he would have asked for his Linkedin account which is a professional way of networking. Sorry Man always pray and ask God for favour in your daily endeavours. |
