How can an employer find me on Facebook?

  • I'm reading more about employers finding their applicant's facebook pages and I am curious to know. I have been applying for jobs for several months and how can they find my page on facebook if they don't even know what I look like? I have searched my name and found over 300+ facebook profiles of people with the exact same name as me, some have pictures and some don't, Do employers really search through all profiles with the same name until they find mine? I have no picture on my profile and only the people that are on my friend list can view my profile, I also have a seperate email address that is only registered to my facebook page that employers don't have. How far will an employer go just to find someone on that website? They can't just pick a random page and assume that the page is mine.

  • Answer:

    They can just type in your name. Look for the location.

I'm sure they can narrow it down to a few people in your zip code or something.... I'm not too sure, I'm a myspace person, but with myspace I would find you easily with just your name, city, and age.

no,they will just search your email.just make yourself "private" and tell them you don't have a facebook,or make a special facebook just for work and don't put any pics or any objectional stuff on it.

They don't usually look at Facebook pages. They may after you are hired, but probably not.

depends on the employer & how much of a background check they actually complete -when in doubt, ask.
