I'm married with 3 dc. Currently looking for another job and an 'acquaintance' I'm friends with on FB with his own company has put a post up seeking staff. I used to work with this person. Nice guy, married with kids but he made a pass at me previously when I worked with him.

This new position is ideal but this is on the back of my mind. He has messaged me on FB in the past. I don't have any feelings towards him but I'm not sure it would be a good idea going on his previous behaviour. Ftr ive been job hunting for months, nothing coming up and my current job is torture.

If you do decide to apply for the job, in the interview or informal chat or whatever it's likely to be, could you tell him categorically that there's to be no funny stuff, as you are very happily married etc, etc.

The only thing is, if he went along with that, could you trust him to keep his word, and his hands to himself in the weeks / months / years to follow?

Unfortunately ... might be best to give it a miss and keep jobhunting.

If he messaged you on FB more recently, did he come across as 'friendly' or still sniffing around?

Some guys will try it on with anything female, but accept it when you say no. Others are ongoing pests. Depends which type you think he is.

When I've spoke with him in FB I've always kept it general chat but he will slip in some sexual innuendo. I laugh it off and leave the conversation.

I wouldn't want to work for someone who made passes and didn't back off when he isn't getting anywhere. He sounds like he'd continue to be a pest around the office and that doesn't make for a good working environment. Plus, it could put a strain on your marriage whether or not you tell your husband that this guy behaves this way - if you tell him he may be unhappy about you working for someone like that, if you don't there's a risk it will look dodgy in the future if something happens or gets mentioned.

I'd look elsewhere. Sexual innuendo on FB, previous pass at you, what makes you think he'd behave himself if you went to work for him?
