Job Search Related Information - Employment Law

All job seekers should keep abreast of laws relating to employment.  Any information you give to recruitment companies or employers should be those to which they are entitled.  There are, now, numerous questions that recruiters (recruitment agencies as well as employers) are not permitted, by law, to ask job seekers and applicants.   Nor are applicants obliged to offer information which may lead to discrimination on the grounds of race, colour, marital status, ethnicity, to name just a few.
