Lots of people are in the job market right now... here are some tips to keep in mind about interview questions that are NOT appropriate.

In honor of today, we express our heartfelt gratitude to those who have given their lives to protect our country. Did you know that the U.S. has passed laws that protect our servicemembers in the workplace? One of these have to do with hiring.

Check out what the EEOC says about this "fact" on hiring preferences:

"Although the ADA prohibits discrimination 'on the basis of disability,' it does not prevent affirmative action on behalf of individuals with disabilities. Thus, a private employer may—but is not required to—hire an individual with a disability who is qualified (including a veteran with a disability) over a qualified applicant without a disability.

In addition, the Vietnam Era Veteran's Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), which is enforced by the Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, requires that businesses with a federal contract or subcontract in the amount of $100,000 or more, entered into on or after December 1, 2003, take affirmative action to employ and advance qualified disabled veterans. VEVRAA also requires these businesses to list their employment openings with appropriate employment service delivery systems, and to give covered veterans priority in referral to such openings."

🔍 Employment Tip: Know Your Rights Against Fraudulent Misrepresentation! 🔍

Fraudulent misrepresentation in employment occurs when employers deceive you with false promises to lure you into joining or staying with them. Here's what you need to know:

🚫 What is it? It's when your employer deliberately lies about your job to get you on board or keep you around.

🔍 Examples? Think promising a fat paycheck, bonuses, promotions, or cushy conditions but not delivering once you're in.

🤔 What can you do? If you've fallen victim, you can fight back! File a claim against your employer for fraud. But proving it isn't easy, especially if it's just your word against theirs.

💡 Tips: Keep records of promises, emails, or any proof. And remember, it's about showing they intentionally misled you.

❗ Watch out: Claims might be tough, especially if it's just a misunderstanding. But don't lose hope, justice can prevail!
