Definitely C. It's not relevant to the job.

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

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.
TA

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

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.

Agreed! C feels too personal.
KA

I think it's C. Employers shouldn't ask about kids.

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.
VA
Van

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

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.
DA

University records are also valid, right?
EV

Social media and background checks are fair game though.
RO
