Facebook Password Is Fair Game Analysis
It depends on what kind of job an applicant is applying for, whether they should give their Facebook password to an employer. After, reading “Why Asking for a Job Applicants Facebook Password is Fair Game” by Alfred Edmond, Jr., he viewed some really great points that changed my whole thought on giving a Facebook password to an employer. Before, reading this article and just thinking about the title I was fixated on thinking it isn’t fair game, it was completely unfair because that is a person’s privacy; with little knowledge of social media.

In addition, someone that wanted a teachers position the employer would ask for their Facebook password. The reason why, is teachers are having relationships with students which is unacceptable. For instance, a female California teacher faces up a maximum sentence of up to seven years in state prison for having a sexual relationship with a 14-year-old boy (wnd). Compared to The Local Se they say one in 30 students has had a relationship with a teacher. Now, imagine why someone that is applying somewhere in the educational field such as teachers the employer would ask for their Facebook password. They represent their work even after work hours, same as the CEO of Google, Sundar Pichai, he represents Google all the time. Meaning, if Pichai makes a poor first impression with others, it will stay with him and Google will probably be viewed as not a well-managed organization. Pichai represents Google whether he is at work or not at work; his public image is huge. Therefore, representing your work is a major key in and outside work
