I was considering working for a particular corporation but when I started to look at what they wanted to know about me I felt that an invasion of my privacy was about to take place, and I changed my mind. What's with all the questions? Do you really need to know these things:
--complete accounting of whereabouts for the past 20years, including time taken off of work for personal reasons, such as: death in the family, etc.
--have you ever smoked marijuanna?
--will you submit to mitocondrial DNA testing?
--high school transcripts and disciplinary records
--political affiliation, including whether you attended any rallys, marches
--are you a member of any non-profit organizations? which ones?
--have you ever been in a car accident, violations? How many speeding or parking tickets have you had?
--have you ever been arrested?
--have you ever collected unemployment insurance?
--how many vehicles have you owned in the past 10 years?
--have you ever had unprotected sex with a member of the same gender?
etc.
Is it just me or are these things irrelevant to any job?
