That Whole Shoulder-Surfing Facebook Accounts At Job Interviews Thing? Its Probably Not Really Happening

imgresI think the folk tale of employers asking to see a candidate's Facebook account was apocryphal at best, but it seems like it's even being debunked in HR circles. Andy Lester a blogger on high-tech career-hunting, has noted that the tale, which surfaced in an AP story a few weeks ago, has been picked up as an example of the horrible state of hiring in this country. Pundits have opined, ink has been spilled, and now interviewees are ready to go into future places of work full of righteous indignation, just waiting for the mention of Facebook. But for the most part it's an urban legend.
