Or do you think that recent grads also should/do dislike Google & Apple? They may have less bad press, but are harder to personally ignore.
Some people under 30 use it, from what I've heard (including from people in their 20s teaching at high schools) the cut off is more around aged 25 rather than 30.
And then there are those or us who have an account ... but don't use it aside from the occasional looking at something. I had quite literally over 100 pending requests going back for years that I've ignored.
Either way, I think FB is still seen as a good place along with Google and others to get on your resume and they have some good benefits here in Toronto from what I've heard; but the only person I know who applied got through 7 stages of interviews before being told no. And that, to me, is just insane.
The interesting thing is that AC sits under 'business'. I do wonder if the people answering the survey were looking at jobs within AC customer battering, AC flight safety officers, AC pilots or other areas of the business.
