Mr. Krueger, can you offer any recommendations on how to address a question about providing copies of previous performance / reviews in previous positions? Is this question legal?
It's a legal question here in the US. That said, you don't have to comply, since performance reviews are typically considered to be confidential information that is only shared at your discretion. It is a very tough question, because if you don't share them, the employer may think you are hiding something. And if you do, most reviews have some negative aspects due to professional development. Weigh out the risks/benefits to decide what is best in your personal circumstance.
Thank you Mr. Krueger. I was brief in my answer, I believe the question was asked innocently. I was brief and moved on. Your advice helps me understand I did the right thing by not elaborating. Your videos are a very valuable tool for me. Thank you.
Mr. Krueger, I have a question. What should I do if the first question out of an interviewers mouth is, "Tell me about your family, do you have any children?" This happened while being interviewed by an international partner via skype.
myrvyn, that's truly a tough question, for a couple of reasons. It is not a legal question to ask in the US, but it can be legal in other countries. You mentioned that it is for an international partner, so if it is for a position in another country, it may be legal. If for the US, not. Depending on the above, answer short and to the point, don't elaborate. If for a US position, you can opt out of the question at your discretion. "I do have a family, but that info is not relevant to this role."
What should I say when the employer asks me if I applied to other jobs? I said I applied to other jobs as well, but wounldn't employers want to hire someone who only applied to their companies?
If the employer asks, tell them the truth. Applying to other jobs at other companies should not preclude you from consideration and it would be understood by any employer that you are open to opportunities. This competitive posturing could work to your advantage.
