Does my Boss Want my Facebook password?

          I found this article really interesting as I know employers during an interview will have already looked up your're Facebook etc, to see what kind of a person you are.  That's why you need to have your settings set properly, so not just anyone can poke around at your profile.  I can't believe the correction officer gave up his information.  I told myself I wouldn't as I read this article that I would never give my Facebook information to a potential employer, but then again if I needed the job for the money/benefits I probably would.  I also thought about I have nothing on my Facebook that I believe would put me in jeopardy for getting a job or not getting the job.

          This article is about Bosses of companies are more commonly asking for potential employees' passwords for Facebook.  Where they then log in and poke around looking for "if they are part of a gang or have an affiliation with a gang".  This clearly not only violates the persons personal space but violates  Facebook's Terms of Service by giving out your're password.  In addition to Maryland, Lawmakers in Illinois are considering legislation that would ban the practice by employers.  I am all for banning this practice because it would eliminate the awkward moment during an interview when you're boss asks about your Facebook.

I found this article which may be a good read for anyone applying for a job in a state where they haven't banned employers asking for your Facebook information!
