Excerpt from a Job Interview
“So what’s your twitter username?” asked the interviewer.
I soiled myself reflexively.
In retrospect I think this was probably the simplest way to handle the question.Wow… Great way to weed out a lot of candidates. It’s pretty much a lose, lose situation unless you have a stellar Twitter record.
Note to self: set twitter to private before all future job interviews.
Actually it seems like a great idea for both you and the employer. They get to see your public face and see if you’re compatible with their company’s culture and you don’t get a job that you’d hate.
