SINGAPORE — Jobseekers, beware. Your potential employer could be following you on Facebook, Instagram and even TikTok.  More recruiters are now screening job candidates’ social media profiles as part of their hiring process, according to LinkedIn News Asia, the news section of professional jobs networking site LinkedIn.

The 23-year-old landed his job after 600 emails and 80 phone calls. The young man took to LinkedIn to speak about his challenging career journey. Nahata stated that he started applying for jobs as he was nearing the end of his course at Yale in 2020. Unfortunately for Nahata, the timing was just not right. Amid COVID-19, companies were firing people and hiring was not untaken by companies actively. "I did not have a job at hand and I was going to graduate in 2 months. And I was a student at "Yale". I thought to myself: what was the point of coming to Yale when I can't even secure a job here. It became harder to sound strong to my parents when they called and asked me how I was doing," said the young man. Despite the darkness infront of him, Nahata was not willing to give up.

The page has since been updated to specify the game is "in development." Not sure if you remember that Detective Pikachu was even getting another game, but it is, and it looks like it not only still exists, but might even be out soon. The original Detective Pikachu game for 3DS, the inspiration behind the 2019 film of the same name, was announced to be receiving a sequel for Switch shortly after the film came out. And then we just… have not heard a single thing about the sequel since.
