Question

Jared is working in the HR department at a small company. Lately he has been designing a new job application form for his firm. The questions Jared includes on the new form should avoid broad questions about the applicant's beliefs, culture and family background. Instead, it should focus on factors such as the applicant's work experience, education, and career objectives.

A. True
B. False

Answer 1

A) True

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to be very careful when preparing job application forms or carrying out job application interviews because some topics are forbidden because they might result in discrimination lawsuits. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act prohibits discrimination at work based on race, gender, religion, national origin or color.

Instead a job application form must focus on important and relevant issues like education or previous work experience that really matter when you are considering a person's ability to perform a job.
