Eh, credit checks aren't nearly as awesome as FB checks. Much more information through FB, though you'd have to do more than look at a credit rating number to interpret it.

I would go one of two ways on this one, assuming I didn't walk away from the job....

Option 1 is, just like I have an e-mail account specifically for spam, I could make a FB specifically for employers to see. I could tell them I don't care of they look at it because I never use it...which would explain the low number of friends. I could make it into a sort of a resume', and since only references would go on a resume' I would only 'friend' my references.

Option 2 is just delete my FB.

sure they should
the employee becomes the face of the company. it is not unreasonable for them to want that face to be one which does not indicate signs of impairment


if something has been expunged, how would they know about it?

Some background checks are just that thorough. Seriously.

And I don't think companies should be allowed to use the substances in our bodies as hiring criteria. They should be able to hire/fire based on performance. If someone is lazy/impaired at work, boom they are fired.

i agree. if someone is intoxicated or impaired on the clock, that's a problem. if somebody has a beer after work, that's absolutely none of the employer's business.
