New App Instantly 'Cleans Up' Your Facebook Account For Job Interviews

The new Clear app

A new app offers a spring-cleaning service which instantly turns you from a foul-mouthed, offensive layabout into a hot employment prospect.

Well, on Facebook and Twitter at least.

The app, Clear, is available on iTunes now, in an early test version which will automatically spruce up both Twitter and Facebook accounts.

It was created by Ethan Czahor, after he was fired from a top job in politics for offensive Facebook posts - and automatically scans for generalisations such as ‘gay’ as well as swearwords.

The app flags potentially offensive messages - it also scans your language for negative-sounding or angry posts - and you can opt to delete them directly within the app.

It also works with Instagram and Twitter. It’s in testing at the moment at this site.

‘'The most challenging part of this is determining which tweets are actually offensive, and that’s something that will take a while to get really good at,' says Czahor.

‘Every millennial is now entering the workforce, and maybe even a senior position, and everything that they’ve said online for the last 10 years is still there, and that’s a new thing for this generation.’
