    I am in the US.

    Those questions are 100% asked.

    Source: over 1000 job applications this year so far.

      That’s like 4 a day, every day including weekends. Where do you live where there are that many jobs available?

        Yes that’s about right. I do between 20 and 80 per day when I do applications.

        The US.

        Remote jobs are a thing.

      You’re lying, plain and simple. Tell me with a straight fucking face you’ve been asked about sexual preferences or gender at birth.

        Tell me with a straight fucking face you’ve been asked about sexual preferences or gender at birth.

        Another American here and I can tell you that I’ve seen both these questions on interview forms. They each came with a “prefer not to specify” response, for all that’s worth.
