Well, I don't have a Facebook account, so it doesn't matter to me anyway, but if some employer asked to see my Facebook page, I'd tell them it's none of their business.

no no no! typing

I'm thinking I would do the same, perhaps in more diplomatic terms, and I'm thinking they would need to respect that. Just like I don't bring my work home, I don't bring home to work. Theoretically speaking, I don't see how pictures from my sons graduation or video from my sisters wedding has anything to do with my job description.

And that would be a job that I wouldn't get because I would refuse that request. It's not that serious for an employer to want to see something on a social network that you are a member of. If you can't decide if I'm the right person for the job based on my qualifications and how I performed on the interview, then I don't need to be working there.
I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.
