Background checks are totally fair game.

I think they can check social media posts.

A) Postings from social media? That's a bit of a stretch. I'd say C is the correct answer here.

Hmm, I'm going to have to go with C. Asking about someone's children is just not relevant for a job application.

D) University attendance records? That's a bit too much information for a pre-employment check, don't you think? I'd go with C.

C) Information about the individual's children seems like a strange exception. That's definitely something employers should not be asking about.

I’m confused about the social media part. I thought they could use that info, but maybe not if it’s too invasive?

I practiced a question similar to this, and I think the university records are okay to collect. It's definitely about the kids that feels off.

I think the background check is fair game, but I feel like asking about children might cross a line.

Alright, let me walk through this step-by-step. A and B seem reasonable for an employer to collect. D is also likely allowed. That leaves C as the only option that's not allowed. I'll go with that.

This is a good question to test our understanding of employment laws. I'm pretty confident the answer is C, since an individual's family information should be off-limits for pre-employment screening.

I'm a bit confused on this one. I know employers can do background checks, but can they really look at social media posts? I'll have to review that part.

I remember discussing how employers can look at social media, but I'm not sure if they can ask about kids. That seems a bit personal.

Haha, imagine an employer asking about your kids' favorite snacks during the interview. C is the way to go, folks.

Okay, I've got this. The answer has to be C - information about the individual's children. That's not something an employer should be able to access.

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'll need to think carefully about what kind of personal information employers can legally collect.
