"  Whatever you do, don&amp;#039;t ask if you&amp;#039;ll be able to access Facebook from work. We know it sounds obvious, but consider this: According to a recent survey by Cisco, being able to use social media on the job is one of the most desired perks among 20somethings. It&amp;#039;s so important, in fact, 40 percent of students and 45 percent of young working professionals say they&amp;#039;d take a lower-paying gig that allowed them to get on Facebook than a higher-paying one that forbid going on the &amp;#039;book. And 56 percent of the 21 to 29-year olds surveyed said they&amp;#039;d turn down a job offer if they were told going on social media wasn&amp;#039;t allowed between nine and five. In other news, 56 percent of 21 to 29-year olds have apparently not heard we&amp;#039;re in a double-dip recession. The survey\u2014which looked at 1,400 college kids and 14,000 Gen Y-ers in the work force\u2014could give hiring staffs and HR managers a new idea of what they may need to address when discussing benefits. Because it&amp;#039;s clearly not just about a 401k, health care, and paid time off. But please, consider this advice: The same way that you don&amp;#039;t discuss vacation time or what time you can leave work on Fridays while you&amp;#039;re in an interview, don&amp;#039;t ask about Facebook and Twitter access either. If you really can&amp;#039;t bare to go sans social for eight hours, just check Facebook on your smartphone. You&amp;#039;ll be doing yourself\u2014and your professional future\u2014a big favor. Are you allowed to go on Facebook and Twitter from work? If yes, how much time do you spend on social media during a typical work day? If no, does that really bother you? Would you consider turning down a job because you couldn&amp;#039;t access certain websites? "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
