KVUE's Yvonne Nava sits down for a live interview with Speak Social President Brad Bogus to talk about whether it is ethical for potential employers to scout the Facebook pages of the people they interview. Often companies base a large portion of their decisions to hire, if not all of it, solely based on someone's online posts.
