There has been a buzz online recently regarding employers asking job applicants for their Facebook login and passwords. Is this legal? “Yes, it currently is legal to ask for these items” says Robert Ellis Smith.  He advises listeners to anticipate questions and be ready to provide an explanation regarding an arrest record or credit report as well as if you are medically discharged from the military and why.  He also educates the listeners on providing what you need to know regarding providing your social security number, information brokers, polygraph testing, genetics testing and many other things you may have not thought about as you prepare for a job interview. Know your rights.

Howard reports “Robert Ellis Smith is the author of Privacy Journal, an experienced journalist, lawyer and the author of several books on privacy. ““Twice he has been asked to write the definition of privacy for the World Book Encyclopedia” http://www.privacyjournal.net/  “.  “Know your rights before going on the job interview” “When you anticipate the questions and know your rights you will appear more professional during the job interview.”
