It is illegal to ask a job applicant in any way what their age is. \nThis is a federal law.\nThey can ask if you are the minimum age or older for the hours or working conditions.\nOtherwise, they are breaking Federal age discrimination laws and should be reported.\n\nAfter being hired, if you are young looking they can request verfication of your miniumum age by requesting a copy of your birth certificate or other ID.

I am a market research interviewer and I understand how answering questions like age, gender and salary can make you feel uncomfortable. We are actually not allowed to ask the question "what is your gender?" We answer that question ourselves by simply guessing your gender by the sound of your voice, it's considered rude to come out and ask that question. You are allowed to refuse to answer any questions, especially including age and salary. The age question isn't as bad because they are age RANGES, such as "Are you...18-25 years old, 26-35 years old...etc". The salary questions are ranges also, but the interviewer can still see whether you make a lot or not. Some surveys need your age range in order to qualify for the remainder of the survey, but you don't have to answer the questions if you don't want to and it will simply go down as a "REF" (refused) or "DK" (don't know).\nYou can always ask questions about their business - such as what their company's mission statement is, questions about their alliances and partnerships, and other questions that legitimate interviewers would be able to answer for you.

Most places get a mountain of applications for each job these days, especially if it's a decent job.\n\nI'm surprised they promised to call you, they normally only contact the ones they like to call in for interview.\n\nThere is nothing wrong to call them to check that your application arrived safely, but don't be too pushy!

Yes, you definitely can.\n\nThe date of the recommendation may no longer be current, but it shows that even at a younger age, you were looked upon favourably, and this goes a long way to prove the consistency of your good character.\n\nDo include them. They will help your future employer gauge the quality of your character in the absence of substantial work experience.\n\nGood luck and all the best in your future endeavours.\n\nCheers!\nALWAYS LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE

Check with EEOC for the current rules.  Decades ago it was felt that asking for age, race, religious or ethnic background or gender was prima facia evidence of an intent to discriminate in employment.  A photograph obviously is indicative of age, race, gender and sometimes religious or ethnic background.  \n\nWhile the law is complex, medical schools may still have the right to decide to admit students so as to have an entering class with a certain gender and racial mix.  E.g. a medical school may want to have a male/female ratio close to 50/50; or have a minimum percentage of Native Americans, or Blacks.  A photograph would be useful in deciding which category an applicant would be put in by an observer -- which might be different from the category the applicant might claim.

You want answers to interview questions? Sorry, but there is no absolute right or wrong answer in an interview.  The employer asks questions not necessarily to see how smart you are, but to see if you're a good match for the company. What kind of person are you? Can you take orders from superiors? Are you a team player?\nJust think of what kinds of questions they might ask and  practice your answers.  That's about all you can do.

I job will not just come to you - you have to make an effort to look for one.\n\nPosting to job and career sites is a start.\nSo is asking others for tips on jobs that match your career interests: ask them who is hiring in particular fields. Ask for pointers, and references as applicable.\n\nThat will get you closer to landing a job.\nIn US, it is illegal for an employer to ask someone's age, so you don't need to volunteer that info. In other countries, ask around for what is customary and appropriate.

Applied for citizenship based on what?\n\nWhat did you put in the box asking if you applied?\n\nYour story is funny, but does not sound true to me.

Surely you were not the only applicant for the job.  It takes time to review all applications/resumes.  For instance, my firm is hiring for a position.  We had over 100 applicants.  They put the ad in the paper 4 weeks ago and are just now doing final interviews.  These things take time.  Perhaps there was a link you could email and check the status?

The most common form would be to use Form 8892.  At the top of the form, it asks questions, so depending on your situation and how you answer the questions, you may need to use a different form that it will tell you to use.\n\nHope this helps, and Good Luck.

you have the right to ask for it.  go to HR dept, and ask for it.  it is a standard employee /recruitment procedure.  the guy who takes care of your documentation probably very busy or too lazy.  yo have to get it, cause it may not be on your best interest if you have problems with your employement, without proper documents.. it is your fault, as much as the company;s fault for failure to obtain those documents/contract.

Background checks are a necessity to protect the company and the customers. \n\nI believe older applicants are less likely to be hired because the employer sees someone that is more likely to be absent from work due to illness rather than looking at them as someone with loads of experience and maturity. There are also those employers that like to train employees to their way of thinking, and that is easier done with a 20 something than someone that has been around and is more set on doing things their own way. \n\nI am not saying this type of generalization is right, but these are the reasons I have seen used to justify hiring someone younger... that might happen to be pretty and stupid or just pretty stupid!

By all means, ask for another interview, but before you go, take your birth-certificate and a translator to a notary public, make a copy, have the notary public type above each data entry the english translation, and then get it notarized, and take that with you to your interview. Also bring your driver's license. Hope this helps! Problems usually occur with birthdates because most countries list birthdates differently. For example 03-05-78 might mean March 5, 1978 in USA, but might mean May 3, 1978 in Russia or Mexico. Hope this helps!

If you want to change your secret question just pretend you lost the password, answer the secret question and then it will tell you to change the question. As far as viewing your birthdate-there is no way to do this as it's assumed that if a person is old enough to sit and read and answer and create an email surely they should know their birthday without having to be reminded. If you are really having such a problem perhaps you can check your birth certificate, Passport, or other documentation. Or ask your parents. I think however that if you really are suffering from amnesia you should see a doctor-your email account is the last of your worries.

Chill kid you are required by law to fill it out and give it to the post office. It doesn't mean your joining the military it puts your name on a list that if the draft were ever reinstated you could be called there are no exceptions so fill it out and send it. It's been the law since 1980's all males that turn 18 must fill out the form. don't sweat it it's nothing.
