I would do anything for work but I won't do that

When Justin Bassett was interviewed for a new job, he expected the usual questions about experience and references. So he was astonished when the interviewer asked for something else: his Facebook username and password. Bassett, a New York City statistician, had just finished answering a few character questions when the interviewer turned to her computer to search for his Facebook page. But she couldn't see his private profile. She turned back and asked him to hand over his login information. Bassett refused and withdrew his application, saying he didn't want to work for a company that would seek such personal information. But as the job market steadily improves, other job candidates are confronting the same question from prospective employers, and some of them cannot afford to say no. If this is what has become of the job marketplace, it's best to apply for the job under a different name which couldn't possibly be linked to a Facebook account. Your employer shouldn't be allowed to ask for such information. This is more invasive than anything else I've heard of. I'd sooner have sex with my cousin than disclose my social networking passwords.
