don't make me confident that this will apply very well to any job not in the USA. Or in something other than Silicon Valley web-dev.
- Balgair 8y agoThe 'English speaking world' is to clarify that the Religion and Marriage Status fields are heart-attacks to any HR department in the US/UK/AUS/NZ/CAN.(Granted I did not pay them, so they may be telling me to take those things out). I know in other countries and in other cultures, such questions may be routine. For example: in Japan, blood types (O+/-,A+/-,B+/-) have been included in interviews: http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/discoblog/2009/02/04/in-japan-your-blood-type-could-get-you-hiredor-fired/ http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/discoblog/2009/02/04/in-ja...
