FaceBook Network Contacts Are Not Your Friends!
If you truly understand the concept of friendship, then those whom you have on your Facebook page does not qualify. At least most of them do not, for the following reasons.
* Friendships are established through personal, interface, or face to face relationships.
* Friendships are established almost from childhood or adolescent years, to be truly genuine.
* Friendships are mutual, personal, trusting, loyal, and reliable.
Some hazards of Facebook contacts:
Some individuals who may be on your Facebook page, are there for the simple reason to get information about you. Some will pass this information on to others not on your page, some will use it to blackmail you, and others will use it to expose some of your personal stuff that should not be shared publicly.
Making your Facebook page private will not stop anyone from using your personal information for ill means either. This is the reality of the world we live in, and you must be cognizant of this.
Employer's request for Facebook information/password:
NEVER give an employer or potential employer permission to access your FaceBook page. Regardless of whether they threaten you, or use coercive tactics to make you feel compelled to do so. In such situations, I suggest that you contact your Labor Department for advice on this matter. Or your Trade Union Representative, (If their is one in your place of work).
Furthermore,
If you intend to seek employment as a professional in one of the established professions like Childcare, Medicine, Legal Attorney, Professor in a college, School Teacher, or the Priesthood. Ensure that your Facebook page does not have pictures of you naked, or partially naked, or information about you suggesting pornographic interests, or indulgences.
