It’s been a long long time since I applied for a real job (I did an interview for an opinion column job, but that is a contractor job, not an employee/employer job).
I just took a job as a Halloween Haunt monster at a local theme park. Last night we got to do all the paperwork. My daughter is also working, and at some point she said “I’m so sick of my name”, because of all the papers we had to fill out. I said “I guess this is your first real-life introduction into how intrusive your government is”.
For all the questions employers can’t ask you, there are way too many things they are REQUIRED to ask you in order to hire you — mostly to see if they are meeting quotas, following some anti-discrimination law, or whether they qualify for some tax break or another.
She was also incensed by the list of things she is not allowed to do as part of her job, because she is not 18.
