  3. Enjoyed the quiz, thanks. With regard to question 6, I would probably choose option B but go one step further and message them explaining that I am not accepting their friend request as I don’t know them and that them asking is an invasion of my privacy, anything they do need to know about me for the purposes of employment they can find out through interview or my referees.

    I don’t believe potential employers have the right to search for private information about you, The anti-discrimination laws are there to protect people who for one reason or another might be deemed as unsuitable due to their beliefs, colour etc. It should be an equal playing field and using the internet to search potential employees could in my view be seen as discrimination as some people will be easily found and others will have nothing at all on the web. An employer seeing something about you he or she does not like could decide on that basis not to interview or employ you while someone else who has done far worse things but just had the good sense not to boast about them on FB or Twitter appears to have a clean slate and gets the job.

    • Not to long ago I received an email about a writing assignment. That evening I had a friend request on Facebook from the person who contacted me. I ignored the request. Needless to say, a meeting was cancelled because the employer was bogged down with a project and had to reschedule. Long and short of it was, they never rescheduled and the whole experience seemed rather creepy.
