Interviewer: So what are your qualifications?
Interviewee: I'm analytical, punctual and have 10 years experience.
Interviewer: And what is your Facebook password?
Interviewee: My what?
Interviewer: Your password to gain access to your Facebook account. You see, the law says we can't discriminate based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, but fortunately the poor economy has given us a great excuse to demean you as human being.
Yep..for real..
Seattle - When Justin Bassett interviewed for a new job, he expected the usual questions about experience and references. So he was astonished when the interviewer asked for something else: his Facebook username and password.
Bassett, a New York City statistician, had just finished answering a few character questions when the interviewer turned to her computer to search for his Facebook page. But she couldn't see his private profile. She turned back and asked him to hand over his login information.
Bassett refused and withdrew his application, saying he didn't want to work for a company that would seek such personal information. But as the job market steadily improves, other job candidates are confronting the same question from prospective employers, and some of them cannot afford to say no.
Unbelievable..not shocking..I expect to see this..and worse in the future.
Our grandchildren need to be saved from this world.
