I’d just lie and say don’t have any.

What about FREEPER postings???? Those live on forever.
But use caution.
Some people seem to like to post listings of all posts in FR to attempt to smear us.
In fact, there's someone named, "Brian," who's done just that with me and my posts.
Over here:
ABC 7NEWS (Denver)Quite funny, at times, being the victim of stalking habits.
But, I'm not worried. (He's probably reading this right now)

That’s a good move. When I got into government service, it wasn’t so intrusive. Part of the problem is that once someone is off probation for civil service it’s practically impossible to fire them. So, they give you a real anal probe on the way in.
To: FromLori
I don’t use Facebook or Myspace or Twitter. Never will understand the appeal.
I also would never give anyone my passwords to anything.

LOL. I like that type of password.
If they ask for my facebook login, I will gladly volunteer to give them a stool sample instead.
Right after I tell them to FOAD.
It ain't their business. My passwords and my social networking is my business alone. Some a-hole control freak can take a hike.
What next? Are they gonna try to get someone's FR login and password?

Maybe its just me, but I would NEVER consent to that kind of check PERIOD! I have capitalized 2 words because they are NOT negotiable.

> I know nothing about Facebook and have zero interest. In fact, I think its crazy. If I was doing the hiring, an applicant having a Facebook account in the first place would give me pause. What about a FR account?

It’s not just you. However, there are people who will, and that’s part of the point, I think. It recruits a certain type of individual, specifically one that doesn’t believe in the fourth amendment.
To: Lancey Howard
A good place to be. Congratulations on success after, no doubt, real work to get there!
But do check out online communications for politics, or good people like you will be cut out.

What about a FR account?Hire them on the spot!
To: Gena Bukin
If you want a paycheck, you gotta stand in line with a whole bunch of people who would gladly bend over and spill their FB passwords while saying "thank you for giving me a chance!"Only for those who lack the entrepreneurial spirit. It's not the easiest thing in the world to start a business and create your own job, especially today, but whether the effort is worth it depends on how sick and tired you are of a**hole bosses meddling in your personal life.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Of course employers are allowed to ask the question; but they can’t force an answer. If a potential employee doesn’t like such a policy, they are free to take their labor elsewhere...

And I should be allowed to respond with, “What is this thing that you call facebook?” I don't even know what a "Login" is.

Hire=Private sector. Elect=Public sector. See above for a bit more rationalization.Ah, but i wasn't saying a thing about Sarah Palin as an elected person. In fact, to the best of my knowledge, she's not holding an office or running for office.
i believe that was another poster who questioned you on that matter. i did not.
Again, congratulations you've just disqualified Sarah Palin from employment in your company.

To: Calvinist_Dark_Lord
Congratulations on ferreting out the obvious. Yes, you understood correctly that when I said I wouldn't hire anyone with a Face Book account that I was including those with Face Book accounts. I don't know but I suspect that if SP quit being a pol she's also quit the lunacy of maintaining an account on FB.

To: FromLori
I would never surrender personal information (such as login passwords) to any interviewer. Might as well ask for my ATM pin number while you’re at it and my paypal login info.
It’s all data mining. Anyone who WOULD surrender such information should be rejected on the spot as he’d be a potential leak for privileged CLIENT information.
