Got good mortgage insurance? Check the fine print. See you down the caravan park.
The information only becomes discriminatory if used in that manner. There are many other benign uses for such information. Good luck in front of the QC Brian just tell him its all about the vibe........oh and the conspiracy theory. :D
My understanding from recruitment training courses is that you may not request or use discriminatory information. It is an offence against Commonwealth legislation to do so.Quote:

If you are worried about age discrimination do not forget to leave out of your CV the years you attended school. This is a dead give away that many forget about.
Where you are dealing through a recruitment agency the CV will be fairly generic as that is how the poorer ones work. They farm CV's and send them off to employers on the basis that if you chuck enough mud some will stick sales method. The better ones work with you and help you customise your CV for the position then coach you on the employer and the interviewer so you are presented in the best light. The latter earn their commission and you are left feeling it was worth it.
Another key thing you need to be ready for is the questions based on experience - give examples of when you did - handled - solved etc. These are usually from the HR person. They are looking for key words and relevant / transferable experience examples. It is intended to weed out those applicants who can talk but do not know. Be ready though as if you cannot give good examples no matter how well the interview went you will not be offer a job.
Steady on.Quote:
