After thinking about this for a bit, if during the application process for a job I truly wanted this issue came up, I would simply say that I consider the request inappropriate and while I'm happy to let them look through my profile after I log myself in, my password is not something I do or will give out. Either way the request would make me a bit wary. If they're willing to exercise a little flexibility, awesome. I don't post anything on facebook that's particularly embarrassing or private, there might be the inappropriate comment here or there but if they're going to not hire me over something like that, it's not a company I want to work for anyways.

I wouldn't give out passwords. That is too much control.
I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming in terror like his passengers.

Speaking from the other side of the coin here.. I think it is vital for an employer that you ask prudent questions to evaluate prospective employees, but there is a line that you just don't cross.

I don't care how loaded the market is with prospective employees currently, digging into their personal life for most jobs just isn't good business. Sooner or later your going to carry a type of scarlet letter and you will find yourself drawing from a lower quality labor pool.

Yes, as an employee, you should be just as selective of an employer as they are as an employee if we are talking about a career type job.. not just a stepping stone or a ladder type position.

That said.. we few in IT, by nature of our position see things about people we wish not to see.. some people just don't get the concept of how networks, routers, and IP traffic really work. lol. If they did, they would be more cautious in their computer activity upon a domain. Mail and spam filters are even worse. lol.

You have to pick which issues would disqualify someone. Being a sarcastic jerk wouldn't preclude someone in my mind.

Being a violent sarcastic jerk who steals would.

The thing about just letting them friend you is that you have control over who can see what posts. In order for them to be sure that everything is visible you'd need to log into the account directly.
