Giving your Facebook login details to your interviewer

Hi everyone - I just wanted to know what your thoughts were on giving your Facebook login details to an interviewer. Has anyone done it? Personally, I think it's a violation of your personal space but it is on the rise! I mean, if you have been looking for jobs for months and months then surely you would be desperate to get that job and so do what they ask? Not sure what i'll do in that case!

never! They do not have the right to invade your privacy like that, it also raises two questions. why do they want it, and what gives them the right to ask for it ?

Absolutely no chance. This should never happen, and they should never ask for it.

I can't believe this has even happened!

I don't think any respectable company would do something like that. The only thing that comes to my mind is maybe they are trying to test how you are going to deal with such a situation. Be polite and explain that this is your private life. Are you applying to FBI ? :-)

Absolutely, categorically not. There is no way they should even ask this question, but as always just be polite but firm, maybe ask them to justify why they would even ask for it.
