    I’ve not recalled an instance where employers go through your social media. First, it’s none of their business and second, they don’t even know where to look because I haven’t shared or told them. What they should be concerned with is whether I’ve committed any crimes or if I have anything that jumps out at them that makes them consider or not consider me. Social Media should never be a determinable factor.

      Ha! When I got hired at this job, the people in my department literally said “we couldn’t find you on Facebook” and I just laughed because I didn’t have an account on there, still don’t, will not.

      So you may not want it to be a factor, that doesn’t mean it isn’t.

      I have had job applications ask for social media profiles as part of the application process. —_—

      Usually a good red flag for the working conditions.
