In 2012, Congress Failed To Pass The Ban Of Employers Asking

In 2012, Congress failed to pass the ban of employers asking employees to disclose Facebook passwords. Due to this hot topic, author and Senior Vice President/Chief Content Officer of Black Enterprise Alfred Edmond Jr. was asked â€Å"Should business owners be allowed to ask job applicants for their Facebook passwords?† when he aired on MSNBC’s television show Your Business. After answering â€Å"Yes† to the question, Alfred Edmond Jr. wrote and published on his own website Black Enterprise, â€Å"Why Asking For A Job Applicant’s Facebook Password Is Fair Game,† to go more in depth about his answer.

Job applicants in today’s job market hand out resumes, fill out sometimes three page applications, write and deliver the resume with a cover letter addressed specifically to the employer. The cover letter explains why that job applicant is interested in the company, what they can bring to the table, and a little bit about themselves. If that whole process isn’t enough to find out what type of person the applicant is, then the company simply shouldn’t hire. Simply move on and find someone else, there are plenty of people out there looking for work. In paragraph five, Alfred mentions an instance where a teacher might have â€Å"a record of inappropriate social media communication with minors, or worse, a history of or predilection for sexual relationships withShow MoreRelatedThe Government and Not-For-Profit Environment100975 Words   |  404 PagesAICPA Industry Audit Guides, AICPA Practice Bulletins (if cleared by GASB), GASB Implementation Guides, other accounting literature—including FASB standards. 29.
