question. so if when filling out an application for a job, and it asks if I am on facebook, can i legally say no? - tRuMaN, (not a knock off version) Apr 17, 13:09 31
- "Yes, and AshleyMadison, too!" -- nm - David Apr 17, 13:19
- I'd say no. -- nm - Beaker Apr 17, 13:17 1
  - but never friend anyone there or mention it at work ever -- nm - Beaker Apr 17, 13:18
- Btw, not sure it's what you're looking for, but my firm is hiring countrywide pretty much. -- nm - MDH Apr 17, 13:17
- What;s a Facebook? nm -- nm - groiny Apr 17, 13:15 1
  - So much for landing that social media director gig. -- nm - TWuG Apr 17, 13:16
- Legally? It's not a sworn statement. You can answer "Yes", "No", or "Moon". In your case, I'd say "No". - Mop (195 lbs) Apr 17, 13:14 9
  - if they want to know if he's on Facebook, they can look up his name. -- nm - CQ: Pressure Checker Apr 17, 13:15 8
    - under a pseud, he should be fine. -- nm - loosilu Apr 17, 13:21
    - Not every Facebook profile is public or discoverable. -- nm - Mop (195 lbs) Apr 17, 13:20 1
      - FOr what it's worth, one of the reasons I have a FB account with my real name is because I know employers will look at it. - loosilu Apr 17, 13:22
    - FWIW, that was my thought. LinkedIn should provide them all the professional info they need anyway. -- nm - David Apr 17, 13:19 2
      - exactly. -- nm - CQ: Pressure Checker Apr 17, 13:20
      - yup -- nm - Beaker Apr 17, 13:20
    - Tru Man? -- nm - mara Apr 17, 13:19
    - is this the new background check or something? -- nm - CQ: Pressure Checker Apr 17, 13:17
- Can you skip the question? -- nm - spamlet Apr 17, 13:13 4
  - no. its one of those online apps things, you have to answer. can they ask for my account password in missouri? - tRuMaN, (not a knock off version) Apr 17, 13:16 3
    - That's what I was afraid of. - spamlet Apr 17, 13:18 1
      - yeah, i am really starting to hate this online app programs - tRuMaN, (not a knock off version) Apr 17, 13:21
    - you have to answer yes or no? there's no prefer not to answer? maybe? -- nm - CQ: Pressure Checker Apr 17, 13:17
- ask a lawyer. there is a lot of stuff employers are not allowed to ask and the list varies by state -- nm - peglegpete Apr 17, 13:13
- well first thing they're gonna do is look you up. -- nm - Remlik Apr 17, 13:13
- Does your state make it illegal for them to ask? If yes, then you can legally say no. If no, you would be lying. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 17, 13:12
- Lying on an application is usually a dismissable offense if discovered. - TWuG Apr 17, 13:12 2
  - like create one in my own name? - tRuMaN, (not a knock off version) Apr 17, 13:12 1
    - Lock it down so they can't see much of anything. If they ask to see more or have the password then you probably - TWuG Apr 17, 13:14
- since your real name is not - that is the answer I'm going with when I fill out the apps -- nm - Epiphany Apr 17, 13:11
- N/A -- nm - CQ: Pressure Checker Apr 17, 13:10
- i wouldn't lie. -- nm - Andie Apr 17, 13:10
- I'd say no. -- nm - loosilu Apr 17, 13:10

- My army landed a short while ago, and my fleet arrives this evening. - Stephen Apr 17, 13:17
- I've shut down everything in anticipation of vacation mode. - spamlet Apr 17, 13:13 2
  - I'd shut down everything, sell excess goods and just farm gold. As long as they can't pillage you, the excess could be worth a dozen cargo ships when - Beaker Apr 17, 13:19 1
    - I did that yesterday and am just collecting the gold for a couple of days. - spamlet Apr 17, 13:21

  - Just to be clear on this, I get that my joke was not cool. I got that pretty quickly. -- nm - loosilu Apr 17, 13:21
  - *nods* Beyond-plaid. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 17, 13:20
- I appreciate this and the thought you put to it. Rereading last night's thread I can see why people interpreted my reaction as dismissive. - loosilu Apr 17, 13:04 5
  - Last night appears to be a time where the event did not warrant the volume of commentary and fallout. - Ser Vermyn Apr 17, 13:13
  - well.. - b. Apr 17, 13:11 3
    - I have to say, even direct questions are dangerous in that situation. History has shown that almost ANYTHING I say can make it worse, - loosilu Apr 17, 13:15 2
      - I guess I'm just not seeing that 2 people is a pile-on. if you feel it is, though, I'll have to accept it. - b. Apr 17, 13:24 1
        
        you don't sit back and wait for three people before you decide to panic. -- nm - loosilu Apr 17, 13:28
