Maybe the KLM thing is more attractive to people from other countries they serve
I only have two countries to poll from, but I've found adoption in Jamaica and England lagged sorely behind the US. They might have caught up now, or maybe it's the kids, but even with the maiden name thing in there it's
really
hard to find my schoolfriends.
Or, maybe it's personal.
All my Twitter peeps are OBSESSED with it so as a reward for billing 16 hours in the last 24, I am downloading it now.
I am Polter-Cow! I am addicted.
Share Connie? That sounds fabulous.
I wouldn't have a problem directing them to my FB profile, but otherwise, fuck them
Um, yeah. Fuck no.
I fully appreciate that companies will and should look FOR my facebook profile. If I'm enough of an idiot to not only use my real name (which admittedly, most people do) AND to leave it public enough for them to read things that would disqualify me? Then I shouldn't be hired, because if something happened, my idiot quotes would be ripe for the picking. But if I'm competent enough to either have a pseud or keep it on lockdown, they know all they need to know. My password is NOT theirs. (And my MAIL password?? Are you KIDDING ME? You just need one bad HR person to reset all my passwords everywhere or something and jack my life!)
Asking for ANY social media password is ridiculous. They can't even legally ask for your age, and they would ask for PASSWORDS? WTF?
I will pee in a cup for you, but you will pry my passwords out of my dead, cold and broke hands.
Not even my HUSBAND has any password beyond my laptop login.
They can't even legally ask for your age, and they would ask for PASSWORDS? WTF?
That's a good point - aside from EVERYTHING ABOUT IT, it's potentially an end run around things they're not permitted to ask about: family status, age, religion.
It does seem like an easy screen of a company I don't want to work for -- things with passwords are on purpose, because my personal life is separate from my job.
They've got a suspect in a standoff in the shootings at the school in France, and the shootings of the soldiers last week. He claims to be affiliated with Al Qaeda. [link]
