I can really only see this if you’re applying for a social media or influencer related position or if you have a portfolio of related work that would be published on those sites. Otherwise, even as far as most background checks go, it’s too invasive and very presumptuous.

So to get the job do I have to create these accounts?

If they're asking for them, they don't know what they are. Therefore they don't exist.

If they require you to make one to fill it out, then there are other jobs out there.

This is some SCS bullshit if I've ever seen it. Boycott any business you see aski9ng for this, straight up.

I run into mandatory mobile phone number inputs in on-line forms from time to time. While I do have a cell phone now, I don't use it a lot and don't have the number memorized. If I enter my land line # or a fake #, they will still send texts to the number.

I love (read: hate) the ones that have a lengthy survey, full of questions and repeats to gauge your priorities by forcing you to choose one thing over another. Ive gotten such gems as, "Would you rather: 1) ensure that customers leave satisfied and happy; or 2) have a good work-life balance?"

I live in California. This is illegal.

I lived in a "purple" city and constantly dealt with illegal application requests.

Its only illegal if companies actually get punished. But nah, not when you have a man in the white house who can touch little girls and gargle presidential balls and nothing happens.

Let's be very clear: only one of those two sexual acts is illegal. The other one is just hilarious proof that we live in the most stupid timeline.

What if you don't have an account?

[–] Aneb@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Hey, I don't want ruffle anyone's feathers but should your life be more than just social media. I never post about my life online because its mine and only I get to experience the joys and sorrows that it entertains. Comparing yourself to the twit behind a keyboard is kinda lame

They want to check you accounts, for reasons.
