All the cries of "oh it's my private information and you have no right to see it" are BS. Like you all say, if you don't post anything you don't want anyone or only select few seeing. There truly is nothing private on the Internet. Anyway, if you want the job you have to play ball. If you value your perceived privacy more than the job then tell them hands off.

I had to log in to my rather dormant FB page. They did not ask for my password. Once logged in, a quick scroll and scan was all that was done. No looking at my private messages or any real digging. Of interest were what kinds of people I was FB friends with and what those people were posting. I am not really active on FB and I am not one of those people who collect FB "friends" like marbles and have a need to accumulate stats so everything is pretty boring on my FB. Lots of pics of kids, pets, and scenery.

I just found the recent discussions about this issue interesting and annoying.

Facebook has changed on who you want to post to, but I am amazed that many people just post the things which should be for just close family or relatives to the whole world. Some have the compulsive habit of posting every little thing they do during the day, which may not interest others at all. To quote someone "I don't need to know how many things you do during the day or how many times you went to the bathroom"

If I am hiring I would like to know if you are that kind of person who posts everything or you posted pics of yourself or friends drunk at party last week. That will tell me about you. Several years ago employers were using behavioral questions plus background check to dig the same.

There will probably be a day when facebook meets myspace fate as a new (something better) social media concept has arrived.
