I really do think a potential employer asking for access to your Facebook account is a bit of an “ambush” tactic.
What I say and do on my Facebook page, has got nothing to do with what I do at work, and visa versa, but I like this cartoon.

This website contains material for my amusement only.
This is the part where I tell you to be kind to animals, to help little old ladies across the road, and just give other moms who are having a kak day a bit of a gap from the insistent need to offer them advise on how to control their child losing his/her shit in the bread aisle at Woolworths.
My stuff here is {mostly} my own thoughts - and I do not amend my speech to adjust to your map of the world, or an advertiser or in a bid to make money from my blog.
I think that ship has already sailed.
If the word FUCK offends you --- please step away from this blog, it is really going to offend you.
Some days I am really proud of shit I say, some days I am embarrassed - some days I have no recall of what happened yesterday.
This site may contain personal misinformation or stuff written for stuff sake. A fair deal of swearing, and moaning goes on here.

There was an error retrieving images from Instagram. An attempt will be remade in a few minutes.

/ June 6, 2012When I was looking for someone to stand in for me when I was on maternity leave, I checked out the shortlisted candidates on facebook. One of the more suitable ones had a very scary looking profile picture – lots of tatts and piercing. I sent her an email to ask if she was really suitable and she sent me a diplomatic reply saying that she kept her personal life very separate and removed her various piercing for the office etc. I was very impressed with how she handled it and she ended up getting the job. She later told me how angry she was when she received my email. A lesson in facebook privacy as apparently lots of HR managers do facebook searches.
