Facebook friending you interviewer

<p>If you had a really good interview with an alumni, who is a recent grad of the school, and you end up getting in and commit, would it be alright to facebook friend said interviewer? Just want to hear your thoughts and opinions, thanks.</p>

<p>If I were in your situation, I don’t think I would, it can be awkward.</p>

<p>What if you say something embarrassing? xD</p>

<p>I agree with drac313… it’s probably not a great idea.</p>

<p>I disagree with the above posters… If it were right after you were interviewed, then I’d agree that it would be odd. But now, you’ve already gotten in. He won’t think you’re kissing up to him or anything of that sort. I’d say go right ahead, you might want to ask a question to not make it weird, but I don’t think that it would be either way.</p>

<p>what if said interviewer was an attractive female and it was more out of lust, then would that be too awkward, even though the interview itself was great?</p>

<p>Yeah, that’d be awkward.</p>

<p>do you really think so?</p>

<p>As a female … Yes, I do.</p>

<p>As a male, I do.</p>

<p>^ lol at the above post, but in all seriousness don’t do it.</p>

<p>ehh, i probably will if i get accepted.</p>

<p>No offense, and I mean this sincerely, but not many female college graduates want to have a relationship with a senior in high school. So if you were hoping it would spark something more with her, I don’t think that will work.</p>

<p>You’re right about that, but that was never the intention. It’s just an innocent friend request nothing more to it</p>

<p>In that case, if you do get in, it would probably be okay. Just send a message along with it letting her know you were accepted, thanking her once again for the interview and perhaps asking a simple question about the school.</p>

<p>Why? You could get that question answered on here or at the school itself. There is no reason to friend your interviewer</p>

<p>I’m FB friends with one of the alumni interviewers who interviewed me when I was applying to college, even though I ended up at another school. I don’t think it’s inappropriate or weird, but that may be because both of us are pretty tame on Facebook: no incriminating pictures, excessive status updates, etc. I’m also friends with lots of older relatives, people who taught me in high school, ex-coworkers–even with some of my current college professors. If your FB page is not the type that could be safely shared with the world at large, I’d advise against it.</p>

<p>I think FB friending would only be appropriate </p>

<p>a) after you graduate from high school
b) if you get accepted & decide to matriculate at that college
c) you continue to “admire” her from a distance!</p>

<p>Still, she has the power to ignore your FB friend request.</p>

<p>thanks for all the opinions guys, i will friend at my own discretion</p>
