Foo - Blocked on Facebook?

So, you guys have anyone blocked?

just you.

no, I just ignore facebook for the most part.

I just checked, I have well over 120 requests for things I don't really care about.

what do you mean by 'blocked'?

wait. Facebook? What is this "Facebook" you speak of?

Under your privacy settings, you've got it set up so they can't search for you and see you.

My wife blocked me once :(

Nobody. My Facebook account is just a shell, existing because prospective employers want one.

it's another word for "BF time time wasting site"

You're missing my insightful comments on your status updates.

yes....a dumbass that actually called me on the phone about 10yrs to invite me to a HS reunion. I told him then that I didn't want to talk to him or see him. A few weeks ago he tried to be my friend on facebook.....some people don't listen.

I actually just closed it. Blocking wasn't enough for me.

they do?

Yep. Every employer I had contact with recently wanted prospective employees to list their Facebook, Myspace, and LinkedIn IDs.

Which probably means they want to check and see if you have any drunken pictures up, rather than invite you to parties with the boss . . .

No chance in hell i would ever work for a company that wanted that information.

I have no spacebook account, and I haven't looked at myface in months....

I'm sure that is it. I actually was told by a prospective employer that they were looking for pictures of candidates who were drunk or stoned, or if they belonged to some weird fringe political group that would humilate their company.

Unfortunately, this seems to be the norm these days, especially for IT positions where companies want to make sure the candidate who they are trusting with the keys to their city is someone who is deserving it, and won't harm their operations.

And what would happen if one told any potential employers (truthfully) that one did not have any of those site accounts/memberships?

I banged into that myself a few months ago... Thread I started here (http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=430071).

School bully who wanted to "friend" me. I nearly forgot about her when she poked me and requested Facebook friendship. Either she is poking and befriending everybody in her grade 4/5 class picture or she wants to physically and emotionally terrorize me some more. No thanks either way.

It's very handy when you don't have a Facebook, Myspace, etc. page. Of course, I could always give them this site and username, but then I would never get hired. Besides, I could always put jsharr down as me on the form.


no, wait. that would be bad. very, very bad.
