Who asks for a prospective employee's religion in Germany? Apart from church affiliated positions this is illegal here as well.

- Zak 9y agoI think I may have confused it with Ireland or Northern Ireland where there's a legal mandate to keep track of it for anti-discrimination reporting. It does seem to be conventional to include one's photograph, age, sex, marital status, children or lack thereof and place of birth on a CV in Germany. It's not clear to me if it's actually problematic to exclude those, but it's my impression that not following conventions tends to not go over especially well in Germany.
- germanier 9y agoI even remember learning to include my parent's jobs on a CV but thankfully that is gone for good. The things you listed are still common with variations depending on the industry. More often than not you can exclude them without negative effects but sometimes those are still seen as important information.
