This is often overlooked. If your kid wants to work in security it will be hard to get a job if his/her info and history can be found on social media.

- raesene9 8y agoNo it won't, that's a really odd take. Perhaps if you want a job in very specific sub-section of cyber-espionage stuff, you might have a problem with existing on social media (although I doubt it) But the idea that general IT security companies have a reduced chance of hiring someone based on their information being on social media is... not the case.

- nl 8y agoThis is not true.
- bornabox 8y agoNope, sorry, this isn't accurate at all.
- neatcoder 8y agoThat's a very odd thing to say. There are so many security professionals in the world with LinkedIn profiles.
- jonodubs 8y agoSorry but unless there is a good reason for it, a lack of social media presence is a red flag when hiring- especially for tech positions. In saying that, if a candidate do have too many public posts showing poor judgment (e.g. hard partying, drunk photos) it will make it definitely make them less in demand.
