    This is probably rage bait TBH.

    since this is required…I’m sure the position involves some type of social media presence on insta and tiktok

      I’ve had first-hand accounts of in-person interviewers turning their laptops to the interviewee and asking them to log in to their social media accounts.

      I’ve also had first person accounts of interviewees laughing and leaving immediately.

      “Required” doesn’t mean you have to provide account credentials. It just means you have a provide a string of characters to complete the form. None or / are strings of character.

        Well since we are picking nits, it could be that the form checks in real time and won’t accept a non-existent account name.

        But yeah, the red asterisks are disconcerting.

          If this happened, this would be my cue to withdraw my application: that’s one employer I wouldn’t want to work for.

          Doing social media isn’t yet a legal requirement, so whoever makes it a requirement for employment can fuck right off.

        I don’t have a tiktok and I think I deleted my Instagram because I never use it and they were sending me email. I’m betting those aren’t the only two services they ask about. You could enter None for each but seems like if they’re asking for these, they’re going to take a lack of answers as a strike against you and probably reject the application.

        So best to reject the job listing first
