I'd turn down a potential employer who asked that of me. One asked me for work product from a previous job, and I turned him down. He pushed it, but I couldn't cover the surprise. I told him it was proprietary, and that I was prepared to whip up something representative, but I wasn't going to refer to an actual business case of a previous employer. Seriously.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
java, yes that's it! Thanks.
You're welcome. All my Twitter peeps are OBSESSED with it so as a reward for billing 16 hours in the last 24, I am downloading it now.
Maybe the KLM thing is more attractive to people from other countries they serve. That's what I assumed when I heard it.
For those multitudes that were wondering about the results of my search for graph paper that I can work with online for beading patterns, I found a lovely free program that not only has multiple forms of blank beading pattern screens, it comes pre-loaded with the color palette of a major bead manufacturer so you can fill in the colors you need and you'll get a total of the beads you'll need in that color. And it lets you do global replace of a color with another color. Much fun.
That sounds cool, Connie!

I only have two countries to poll from, but I've found adoption in Jamaica and England lagged sorely behind the US. They might have caught up now, or maybe it's the kids, but even with the maiden name thing in there it's really hard to find my schoolfriends.
Or, maybe it's personal.

I am Polter-Cow! I am addicted.
Share Connie? That sounds fabulous.
I wouldn't have a problem directing them to my FB profile, but otherwise, fuck them
Um, yeah. Fuck no.
I fully appreciate that companies will and should look FOR my facebook profile. If I'm enough of an idiot to not only use my real name (which admittedly, most people do) AND to leave it public enough for them to read things that would disqualify me? Then I shouldn't be hired, because if something happened, my idiot quotes would be ripe for the picking. But if I'm competent enough to either have a pseud or keep it on lockdown, they know all they need to know. My password is NOT theirs. (And my MAIL password?? Are you KIDDING ME? You just need one bad HR person to reset all my passwords everywhere or something and jack my life!)
