[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What i don't get is if people discriminate based on where you live - why do they call you in for an interview in the first place?  [b]Seems like a waste of time and if your address is on the cover letter/resume, then they already know you're too far away for them (if they discriminate).[/b]

And I agree about not saying anything about your family in an interview.  If questions come up like "what do you like to do in your spare time" or things like that - list your own hobbies - "I like to go hiking, reading, camping, whatever"  Don't say "I have to drive my kids all over town for their after school activities."

Not when the candidate looks good on paper otherwise and can offer some suggestions to make your org. a better place. Plenty of employers are prone to glean intel from interviewees I would imagine.

Or am I wrong?[/quote]

You're wrong. Most hiring managers tend to be busy. I am not going to interview someone I've already written off. Also, there are much better ways to "glean intel" or learn to make my org a better place with the time it would take to sit through an interview.[/quote]
