This is probably rage bait TBH.
since this is required…I’m sure the position involves some type of social media presence on insta and tiktok
I’ve had first-hand accounts of in-person interviewers turning their laptops to the interviewee and asking them to log in to their social media accounts.
I’ve also had first person accounts of interviewees laughing and leaving immediately.
“Sorry, my password manager is on my laptop at home.”
As would any sane person
I couldn’t imagine having that happen. I would leave so fast, but not before telling them what a waste of fucking time this had been.
“Required” doesn’t mean you have to provide account credentials. It just means you have a provide a string of characters to complete the form.
Noneor/are strings of character.I don’t have a tiktok and I think I deleted my Instagram because I never use it and they were sending me email. I’m betting those aren’t the only two services they ask about. You could enter None for each but seems like if they’re asking for these, they’re going to take a lack of answers as a strike against you and probably reject the application.
So best to reject the job listing first
I wonder how safe they are from SQL injection…
And it’s required. I genuinely have neither. Am I not welcome to apply?
You’re on an fbi list for not having one and another list for having neither
At least I’m not on the Epstein list.
Oddly enough that’s leadership material in 21st century
Honestly if you aren’t being watched by at least 9 letters worth of agencies, you’re boring
Sadly these people would probably assume that you were lying.
I’d just write “none”
They want to check you accounts, for reasons.
I don’t even have a TikTok account, lol.
You shouldn’t have an Instagram account, either. Meta is more evil than Google.
These are evil companies, but I am curious what metric you’re using to say one is worse than the other when their objectives and methods are similar.
A decade ago I would’ve agreed. Now I’m not too sure there’s enough difference to be significant.
I mean the second part of your comment. Obviously I agree with not having an IG lol
Have one just in case
Then you are not qualified for this job
How to legally discriminate against anyone above the age of 40?
Or under the age of 25. Nobody is voluntarily signing up for Instagram in the modern era. Hell, even TikTok is getting past its prime.
They might as well be demanding my Spotify Playlist.
Or under the age of 25. Nobody is voluntarily signing up for Instagram in the modern era.
Ok this will make me sound 8,000 years old, but what social network are the kids these days using? TikTok exists, but that isn’t really a personal blogging site like Facebook, Myspace, Instagram, etc. What is the equivalent for Facebook for present day high school and college students? Is everyone just on discord?
I don’t think that people do that very much any more, since the medium has changed.
People don’t really do things like make blog posts as much as they used to.
I think large group chats. Benefits of larger audience posting without being completely public-facing.
Nobody does personal blogging. Well, except a few specific primates doing so on Xitter. And I’ve also seen some people with at least half a brain getting a domain and writing blogs there in hopes someone clicks on their link.
You’re reading blog to literally. Think how people traditionally use Facebook/Myspace, posting regular updates, photos from their life, etc, intended primarily for friends and family to see. What’s the equivalent of that for kids today?
I mean, outside of posting a few pics of college events, I don’t think most of my friends post pictures to Instagram. Hell, some of them like me don’t even have Instagram/major social media anymore.
Before I left Insta, I didn’t even bother to follow friends/irl people I know
because I’d rather talk to them in person that shit’s dumb, I really only looked at memes, silly reels/vids, and fanart of stuff. Like 90% of Gen Z is only on social media for content and lols, not to update each other on their livesI talk to my friends in person. We share pictures of shit we do in life to each other in group chats, but 95% of what we do was done as a group anyway. We don’t really feel the need to let randos/online friends know every thing we’re doing all the time.
None. It is no longer “cool” to post your entire life onto the internet. Source: I am a kid.
Yall are making playlists? I just add all songs to the liked and just hit skip until I find songs I’m in the mood for.
i think you’re severely overestimating how discerning most zoomers are about social media
Yeah, that sounds insane. Everyone knows those platforms are selling your data. I don’t think most young people are that stupid.
As someone under 25, this is bullshit. I’m the only person my age I know that doesn’t use Instagram
you have no idea how popular insta is if you think this is the case
You have no idea how many people still use dial-up internet. shrug
It’s still pigeonholed to a generational cohort.
What if you don’t have an account?
So to get the job do I have to create these accounts?
I would just put “N/A” in each box. they probably won’t contact me anyway so whatever.
Maybe it’s an intelligence test: if you supply them, you’re too dumb for the job.
The red star indicates a required field.
Sure sure. Or go with the old standby
I used to use fuckoff@aol.com or fuckyou@aol.com whenever some page forced an email address for access. Sadly, those don’t seem to work anymore, so I’ve transitioned to getfucked@hotmail.com or if I’m feeling spicy I just feed them whatever email address I can find listed on their own site.
I usually just do “marketing@sitename” for whatever site it is. Let marketing sort out their own spam. Sometimes I’ll just do “postmaster@sitename” or “admin@sitename” but marketing is usually my go to.
Many forms simply do the most basic regular expression possible of looking for alphanumberic characters with an @ sign before a period somewhere in the mix, so you can enter entirely nonexistent domains, but some are a little more in-depth
While entertaining, the point is that they are collecting it to check the account so I could just put in some celebrity’s handle and explain it later or put in gibberish and explain it later.
👨🏻🚀
Bet it’s only on the client side
“None”
@none
So?
They can require these things all they want, the correct reply is
N/Aor/- meaning “I don’t have an Instagram or a Tiktok account” (and if you do have accounts, it’s not a crime to pretend you don’t).And that should be the correct reply for a decent employer to rate the candidate above those who stupidly provide the information.
Conversely, if the employer thinks not having social media accounts is a minus, it’s probably not an employer you want to work with anyway.
"; DROP TABLE Applicants;
Hey, I don’t want ruffle anyone’s feathers but should your life be more than just social media. I never post about my life online because its mine and only I get to experience the joys and sorrows that it entertains. Comparing yourself to the twit behind a keyboard is kinda lame
These days I get my fix through the fediverse and otherwise try to enjoy the real world
Data harvesting disguised as a job application
Perhaps they want to make sure they don’t rule you out over someone with the same name.
put “logout” in these forms and watch them logout from their account
lmao this is genius
Looking forward to the day I’m unemployable for not having those accounts instead of just for being really easy to find out I’m a communist
N/A
N/A
Report them, the only solution.
… To whom?
Report job ads on the website you saw it. Report it to ministry if possible.
Apart from taking our data when we apply, they also ask for personal social media? Who they think they are ? We need some privacy!
