I'm getting sick of the invasive questions
"Gender?
Sex at birth?
Are you trans?
Are you gay? Bi?
Ever been depressed?
Abuse alcohol? Drugs?
Ever been arrested?
Ever been in the military?
Well what about your spouse?
Ever work for the government?
That degree you mentioned, we can't ask your age but uh, when did you earn that bad boy, huh?"
NONE OF THIS HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE POSITION.
This is 100% occuring in the USA. Where I live and work.
What is the "correct" answer for the ever worked in the government/military ones?
The truth. Depending on the context they will either report how many military veterans they employ (so just tabulation that goes to a checkbox if they bid for a government contract), or it involves military benefits in some manner, which will quickly come back to haunt you if you 'lied' on application docs.
Oh, I assumed they were a discrimination thing. Gathering random information due to government requirements is very different.
Not necessarily requirements, but sometimes government contracts favor contractors that employ veterans, so it's more like the company is hoping to be able to use you on paper.
Bingo. Employers are required by law to obtain veteran status. EEO reporting comes to mind.
