My husband suggested I write a letter to their corporate officers and ask why that question was asked and if they are using the answers as a means to disqualify applicants. I wish now that I had taken a screen shot of it.

This is why I hate looking for a new job today.

Why can't we just have an honest discussion between the job applicant and the employer? If you accept this job you will have to find insurance elsewhere and you can take it or leave it.

Instead there are loaded questions like this all over the place and if you don't read their mind and answer the right way, you never get the job and never have a clue as to why you don't get the job. So you have no basis on which to improve yourself as an applicant to make your self more attractive as a potential employee.

Yep, I've been searching since before we even moved (hubby got transferred to a new city) that was over a month ago and still no luck. I gave up looking for something in my field and started looking at retail - thinking that if he gets transferred again I'd have a better chance of transferring too... This experience has been an "eye opener" for sure. It's been a very long time since I had to search for work.

I went back and reapplied with fictitious information just to get a screen grab... the question is neatly tucked in with an Ernst & Young tax credit questionnaire under the questions about having received TANF and are you a US resident.....
