I’ll admit, I read the first part and hit ‘reply’. Doesn’t change my point at all. It is against ToS, and it means the interview is over; at least with me. If you require Facebook credentials in order to hire me I don’t want to work for you. Work behavior stays at work, personal behavior stays personal.

Any competent company understands that. Any company that doesn’t, don’t deserve my skill set.
