Why do employeers do this shit?
Don't even get me started on the "Where do you see yourself in 10 years" or "Why do you want to work here" questions.
Say you don't like Facebook because you don't like social media
dude i want to leave on good terms
Why would I give any responsibility to someone who can't even answer a question about himself?
Not using a Facebook account is not wrong, but you gotta know yourself and be able to phrase the reasons.
They would've looked it up anyways.
Delete your Facebook accounts. No point if this is the havok it will wreak on your life.
They think you're anti-social and have no vision of your life, career or future. They want to employ people who... don't suck.
That would piss me off something fierce.
I have no Facebook and never will. I hate social media.
I have zero use for:
- Jesus-freakery
- Knowing which of my idiot family members are anti-vaccers or 9/11 truthers
- Reading vapid pseudo-profundities in the form of image macros
- Having my personal data mined more than it is already
Fuck Zuckerberg and his monster.
they are butthurt that they got sucked in to the facebook ponzi and you didnt
wicked shit, I posted the blob fish pic on a jerk off thread and u used it, I'm proud of u
because the people giving the interview are fucking idiots. it might sound jaded but it's as simple as that.
there's no formal standard of doing an interview, it's a task no one wants to do. as a result, you get the pointless middlemen consulting companies, and the only people who want to work for them are self styled 'mind-game geniuses' who are just terrible shitheads.

wtf?

don't forget
>"how much salary do you expect?"
what the hell do you think nigger?
pay me like the rest of your employees or based on how much I work
accept their offer but ask for a renegotiation in 3/6 months or so
Haven't worked a day in my life. Not one call for an interview yet. I'm 19.
>waiting for them to call you
>ISHYGDDT
Having done some hiring for my team. I would agree the fb thing is bullshit, but the other two are not.
> Where do you see yourself in 5 years
(changed to 5 because that is the usual timeframe, I agree 10 years is too much)
If I am hiring for a team I don't want to hire 5 people who all want to become team leads.I need to know someone wants to be a people's manager, someone strives to be a tech lead, and someone else just wants to work on interesting problems and doesn't care about the ladder.
> Why do you want to work here
This question is retarded for low skilled jobs, but for some of the more interesting positions I would certainly prefer a candidate that also has interest in the company because they are more likely to perform better than someone only in for the money.
the guy in the picture looks like he has no eye in the socket, what the fuck.
>"Why do you have no pictures?"
It is a career networking tool.
>"Where do you see yourself in 10 years."
Accomplishing the goals I have set for myself.
>"Why do you want to work here?"
I want a job in my field.
or
This company has a solid reputation and that means a lot to me.
or
I believe I can bring a lot to your company.
or
et cetera et cetera...
And boy does it sound like you've hired dozens of people. Look faggot, I don't care what people on my team do in their personal life, so the most i ask them for is phone and email.
Facebook is literally just a lobotomized MySpace for ad revenue and analytics sales, having Facebook is as much a choice as getting a boob job, you don't need it and all it does is give you undeserved attention.
I'd never ask for someone's myspace, or tumblr, or instagram, so why the fuck do they need a Facebook?
(ask me what i do, i dare you)
>I just told you I don't use it
How hard is that?
Also make a LinkedIn and refer him to that
Facebook is private
You are an idiot for telling them. You should have said, "My facebook is my personal business." when they searched it and found it, you could have just denied that was you and said you made yours private.
They have no right to prod your social media and make judgements on you based on what you DON'T have.
Well it's obvious you have no idea what you're saying, can confirm if you did that they wont hire you.
I've failed interviews for having no social media accounts at all. They thought I was lying. Fucking bullshit. Even if I did have anything, it's not an employer's goddamn business what my personal life is like. If they care at all, they are obviously not an equal opportunity employer, and need to take that off their hiring blurbs.
stop it you meme loving scum
idk bra. i've done a lot of interviews and not once have they asked about that.
I'm kinda a normie in that regard so it wouldn't be a problem.
This is the type of shit world we live in OP.... Where work / the business world has so much control over our lives that we can be judged for who we are in our downtime... Yes I'm sure the interviewer is mr/mrs perfect... Like they've never drunk, had sex, or made satire jokes before... Fuck the world and it's cold approach to working... You exist in two states, the workplace state where you're a slave to your boss for the sake of earning money and surviving, and the social state where you let loose and forget about work...
Literally makes no sense. Probably quick posted the wrong #
Manager here.
The employer wants to make sure you're not going to shoot up the office, and your facebook tends to be a good indicator of that likelihood.
The question about "where do you see yourself in 5/10/etc years" is about longevity. Why would we fucking hire you if you're going to bail in 3 months?
The question about why do you want to work here is fairly straightforward. If you don't say "I want to get paid" You are not an honest person. I don't want to work with two faced people, and I don't want subversive employees.
You failed your interview because you are failing at life. Get good.
I'd say that Facebook is no longer the social networking platform that it used be because you have concerns about the privacy and use of 3rd party data for tracking that can be sold to the highest bidder. Instead you choose to maintain relationships face to face because you believe in being authentic.
this would work if you are applying to be a walmart greeter.
If people were truly honest, they would always be upfront about going to wherever the grass is greener. Company loyalty is about as stupid as school spirit. As for why they want to work somewhere, it's something to the effect of, I need money to live.
All interview answers will always be two-faced, because no one would hire someone that said those things.
I was denied security clearance at a company because I wouldn't hand over all my social media accounts.
It pissed them off because every time I need documentation or blueprints someone else had to go get them for me of the servers. They bitched for months and tried to give me all kinds of bullshit reasons as why I had to give them my accounts.
who the fuck uses facebook anymore? i deleted my facebook 2010 and i dont reget it
I don't fucking care about the company unless it is my own. Everyone else secretly feels the same. Any answer you have ever gotten in that regard was bullshit.

I'm not that faggot you're replying to, but I am curious. What do you do?
Manager here. In my interview for this, and every position I've taken for the past five years, I have told my employers about the time I got fired for sticking to my moral guns.
I took this job because I needed money to live, and I tell them that's why I am applying for the promotion. I tell them I love money, and that I have faith in the company to allow me to pursue that freely. They love that.
Also, I am fairly open about my intentions to run roughshod over every convention, every authority, because I can. Referential power is different than authoritative power. Learn that, because it's true.
You are weak. I can tell. Show some spine and learn to code. Apply it to whatever you are trying to do. You will do fine.
You are my hero, user.
OP im just going to clarify that I am one of those hiring/manager players. Its a simple game and it goes like this. I have 5 to 10 interviews a week, to keep people i already have preforming because i will fire at will as california allows me. If you dont make the cut to compete, youre out. And not being able to give anything but a shrug to a question simple as why you dont like social media, well youre a waste of time. You show that you give no interest in events or those around/related to you, so what shows youre going to be optimal with my team. My workers have eachothers email, phone, and thats right, facebook. Im assuming you are some late teen early 20s kid or a hippy, either way, you want money? Fucking think your shit out.
Most people don't know this, but they do not have the legal authority to request access to your social media accounts, and you can in fact sue them for asking.
Manager here. See that kids? That's sticking to your guns. Respect dude. You are not the hero Sup Forums deserves, but rather the hero Sup Forums needs.
This is great.
ok, warped Titus.
this OP
Social media is entirely unnecessary. I contend that anyone that looks at another person like they fell out of a tree for refusing to participate, employer or not, needs to rethink their sad life.
...
warped titus here. I was going to use Don Draper pics, but I felt that was a wee bit too pretentious.
>a wall of text explaining a bunch of shit that never happened
facebook is and always will contain that of what you surround yourself with. Therefor it is a tool to make you look better if you dont sign up to a micky mouse porn club. If you are not able to make this your advantage over the other morons about this, well sorry.
Perspective isnt reality. Im a regional training manager for a franchise, focused on training others to follow standards and communication.
I make more than both your parents, get over it.
Yeah absolutely. Unless person in question is antisocial or has Asperger.
Fucking nigger.
It's an entirely dumb and lazy basis for deciding what makes a person. You're just showing that you're dumb and lazy for believing it's a tool in any sense, you tool.
You know who still has Facebook? Narcissists who think they have anything of interest going on in their lives to anyone who might be browsing. In reality, it's the literal, visual representation of every person's very own echo chamber.
Lol I don't need to prove anything to anyone. I'm self-employed. All I'm saying any employer that asks for this shit needs to be put in their place. There is no legitimate reason to ask for it. NO ONE ALIVE that is successfully employed is the same person at work as they are at home. The two are completely separate, making that information irrelevant. If you think differently, sorry to say, but you're pretty naive.
Says the guy with 9 signs of oppositional personality disorder.
In one post.
Perhaps he is not a trend following, narcissistic knob who feels that credibility is tied up in whether you are socializing like a good lemming consumer? Reminds me of the teachers at school who want everyone to be an extrovert, because to them that = normal and well adjusted.
You're a moron if that's actually how you hire people, and judging by your attitude I feel safe to assume that the company you work for has a high employee turnover rate. The higher-ups will catch on sooner or later, and then you'll be out of a job. "Managers" like you are a dime a dozen. I see this type of shit happen here all the time. If you're the cause of a high employee turnover rate, and they realize it, they will fire your ass hard because you are costing the company money.
>"Where do you see yourself in 10 years"
wageslaving for you or some other indistinguishable facet of corporate America
>"Why do you want to work here"
Money, that's why everyone else applied for this job, but they probably all gave you some bullshit answer about how awesome your profit making entity is, didn't they?
Bet you work in McDonalds
I am a perfectly functioning cog in the societal machine. Choosing not to subscribe to a world of bullshit contained within a website means I have a choice, not a disorder.
Even captcha reminds me that I'm not a robot.
Manager here.
The director is way more bloodthirsty for firing people than I am.
That being said, I fired someone on the third day I was the supervisor.
She was weak, for the same reason you're weak. Don't stir the pot because the people in power do not care about your opinions.
Like, barely at all.
Post your social, and I guess you'll find out.
No perfectly functioning cog announces they are perfectly functioning. Honestly I am the guy who says I don't care about your facebook - I just want to make sure you're not going to go all office shooter on me. I can usually pick that up in the interview though.
I'm guessing you don't work in HR for a major multinational corporation.
That's a solid bet
Keep your Facebook profile hidden. Say it's for personal shit, not shit for random coworkers and not stuff for the business environment so you wont unhide it for them. If they want to know about you personally, they can ask you questions directly or they can look at that section called 'references'
What is a j-jhaub?
- Business Management major, focus on entrepreneurship
If you say so. If you really wanted to avoid an office shooting, you'd find a better reason. That way, no one would "find a reason" to hunt you down. Much like you "found a reason" to not give them an equal employment opportunity. If someone did want to go killer on you, you're supplying plenty of fuel.
Your hiring practices are filled with faulty logic.
I'm honestly shocked your company is in business then. Must be a pretty high profile business if people would actually put up with your shit just to work there. Who do you work for?
"my politics and personal business is not part of my work life, nor should it be, so I don't publish it."
If that causes "bad terms" then they were already there in the mind of the interviewer.
Nobody is convinced.
Facebook is owned by the jews. Insta door opener.
Oh, let's guess! I'm gonna say telemarketing.
>why do you want to work here?
why wouldn't i want to work here? is there something i should know about?
You have AWFUL active listening skills, fuck tard. I don't ask for your social media, because
I. Do. Not. Give. A. Fuck. About. You.
I don't think about you outside of the work place. Unless you're a fucking furry (and don't worry, they don't exactly hide it do they?) Your social media presence will have no impact on your employment by me.
Your attitude however would get you eviscerated in an actual face to face or phone interview. You would be humiliated.
Grow up and learn to listen. Actually, since this is all text, it's a million times more concerning that you can't read and parse meaning from words.
That's what words are for.
This.
10/10.
>get interview

>asks if i have a facebook account
>tell interviewer "nah, I'm not a 13 year old school girl that's interested in mickey mouse e-drama and I don't need a bunch of fake friends for a popularity contest"

Brilliant. "Can you send me your company's financial records and personnel reports? I think I should have a look before deciding. Wouldn't want you to go all exploitative meat-grinder on me."
Nah, but it's equally shiesty.
Actually, we might be more shiesty.
>grow up
>on Sup Forums with everyone else
Prime case of shooting oneself in the foot in an argument.
>don't have a facebook
>get surprised when companies dont want to hire antisocial special snowflake autismos
wooooooooow
I don't have anywhere to be. I have low thinking monkeys like you doing my job for me.
Oh, now I'm curious. More shiesty than telemarketing. What could it be?
Government subsidized insurance.
It's like... what if the mafia got in good with the government?
I can give you a really big hint if you want.
Do you really think he cares about what your facebook looks like? He just intimidate you with those questions, you failed to answer, here's the reason
Holy shit this.
You should know the answers to any questions about yourself that an interviewer may ask.
Falling for b8, i should sleep.
I work for myself, Chester. Think again.
Not even the same person lol, its the same everywhere, hence why you are bottom tier, enjoy being told what to do. I work for Tripart
Winning.
I would've gave them a second chance but i'm a little bitch so... yeah.
What kind of shitty ass job asks you if you have a facebook?
Is this an american thing?
Are the jews so in control that you HAVE to be zuckerbergs slave to get a job?
Go an anally fuck yourself with sandpaper you Inbred loser scum shit. Facebook is full of absolute shit and the popular majority ally there. Sup Forums is a refuge for neets, weaboos, etc. I suspect that's why you're here too.
Say you don't have facebook since you don't use things made by jews. Also deny holocaust and sign off with Heil Fuhrer. 100% get job.
Great story user, you've made my day
There is still justice in this world
>Government subsidized insurance
Oh! Ok, my second guess is that you're the guys who sell motorized wheelchairs to old people with Medicare.
>It's like... what if the mafia got in good with the government?
We'd have capitalism?
Fairly certain you're not worth working for.
Good for you? Enjoy your awful tax rates, zero days off, expensive "perks", and 100% responsibility if your company goes over.
The hip and trendy ones like shops in malls. If you get a job in say the oilfields, those companies don't give a flying fuck if you have social media.
This
Work for the FBI and tell me that. If the major communication lines go down at 3am, 'im asleep' doesnt work. Aka, your work life is your only life
You're really close. I pay those shiesty bastards... sometimes. Some of them. Since your guess was so close, here's a hint:
My CEO got caught hiding medicare funds offshore. It was like a billion(sic?) dollar scandal. That was with his old company.
To your second point... Yes, yes it is.
Revel in all of it's glory. Capitalism RULES, you neets and weeaboos.
