seems completely absurd. that said, i google stalk everyone that I'm interested in interviewing. if they're a public dipshit on social networks, there's a strong chance that i pass on them. If they're extra funny on social networks, it's bonus points for them.

Such an invasion of privacy should be illegal for jobs paying less than $200k.



Nice to know there's a dollar figure on your personal freedom.

Any employer that thinks your Facebook account is relevant for a job interview is an employer that isn't worth working for.

What if they aren't into social networking?

Just curious, whose freedom do you think I'm proposing we take away?

True for most jobs. Not all though.

I would just tell them I don't have one.



As would I. But I seriously doubt you or I would last very long at any place that would ask for this.

I would make a fake profile that listed my activities as "Church Choir," "Succeeding in Business" and "Donating Heavily to Mitt Romney."

Perhaps a few fake ones depending on the type of job you are looking at.

Just create a fake profile that only you have access to, with a pic of lemon party, tub girl and blue waffle on it. give them the ID and password and tell them to go fock themselves as you walk out.

Here's a helpful hint.

Don't put "Outposter" on your resume.
