What gov job were you working which asked you to provide your social media details? I’m in the midst of a batch of interviews for a variety of gov positions, and I’ve not been asked to provide social media information once. It’s not on any of the forms I’ve filled out, and it’s not come up in any of my interviews.
Even when I held a security clearance and worked positions which required that, I don’t recall my social media coming up at all during the hiring process.
Not saying it doesn’t occur “unofficially” as a further vetting criteria, but I don’t see what you mean by saying government jobs try to get you to volunteer that info to prevent phishing.
I still don’t believe this. I’ve been part of the interview process at several different companies, and no one ever talked about social media. Maybe it’s not a thing in IT?
They review it during the initial interview. They just don’t tell you.
In gov jobs, they want you to share it, under the guise of avoiding phishing attempts.
