Last week I attended a NCACE Coffee and Conversation session with several university career development counselors from the Triad area, as well as several recruiters. One of the topics that came up was this recent Associated Press article regarding employers asking for Facebook passwords during job interviews: “Employers Ask Job Seekers for Facebook Passwords“
Over the past few days I’ve fielded questions from students about how to handle such a situation as they are preparing to interview for internships and jobs. I came across this link from a person submitting a resignation letter because of Facebook-password related concerns. While I’m not sure if it’s true or not, it does raise some interesting HR concerns for employers who are considering using this technique in their interview process. Check out the link here: “I hereby resign“

I’m sure that, over time, this practice will be outlawed.
