Foot - Top recruit quits Facebook following 'living nightmare'
As I stated in my previous blog about Facebook, I no longer have an account, and one of the main reasons I got rid of it, was to gain back some of my privacy. I don't think this article was too harsh and I can absolutely believe that school recruiters would use Facebook as a tool to recruit up and coming sportsmen. I don't necessarily have a problem with recruiters using Facebook in this way, but I think it's absolutely vital to remember the importance of respecting one's privacy. If the school recruiters were to continue using Facebook as a recruitment tool they need to learn the lesson of moderation and respect; these potential "stars" are people and they deserve respect and privacy.

So true, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree. This reminds me of how future employers look people up via facebook and check them out before they hire them. I think that is creepy and crossing a line.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's creepy and crossing a line. If I was an employer I would look people up on facebook too. I wouldn't want employees that spend all their free time drinking and being irresponsible. I think if you want a professional job you should act professionally.
ReplyDeleteI saw someones facebook page who under Intrests wrote, "Your mom" and under Hobbies wrote "drinking" I don't want that person working for me.
