What if I do not wish to reveal past salary details or health issues, as some employers demand?
These are not trick questions! Firstly, employers who require full details on health, past convictions or even origins of birth, are usually governed by legislation and have to ask these questions. Many employers do require personal information such as these. If you believe the employer is being unnecessarily intrusive or contravening normal Equal Opportunities policies, contact them for further explanations as to the requirements. Based on their feedback, you can decide if you want to apply.
