This leads me to jump the track and ask a parallel question. How do you handle getting asked about someone you work with or used to work with? Not really being asked as a reference, although that deserves discussion, but just as an "off the cuff" question. With the advent of the social networks, it's easy for someone to assume a connection between two folks via an indirect route. "Gee, I see you used to work at _______ did you know ______?" I've had this happen to me twice now. Once from just someone at a professional meeting (BBLISA, etc.) and the other was via a head-hunter. The former I tap-danced around. The latter I sidestepped and avoided doing business with.
