In another twist on employers checking out candidates on social networking sites, there are reports of employers asking for theFacebookpasswords of job applicants and, in some cases, for current employees. Checking social media sites this way is called "shoulder surfing" because the employer is seeing everything you do, rather than just the public information you want them to see.

If this happens to you, all the work you may have done on adjusting your privacy settings to limit what some of your friends, family, and others can see is basically useless. Once you have given out your login information, the company will have full access to your account.

Should employers be asking job applicants for Facebook passwords? Why or why not?
