Nosy job application questions

[Frogmountain]

I'm applying with a Thai organization and am blown away by the personal and totally irrelevant things they want to know.

Not just height and weight. But birth order? Number of siblings? Parents' and children's ages and occupations? My spouse's salary?

This is really just for them to gossip about later, right?

[nazree360]

In Malaysia that is the standard Q's they have in a job application form....

[Rhys]

thus do want to work at a place like that then....move on..

They use the answers for their lottery numbers - especially if your spouse's salary is in 6 figures.

Just tell them ludicrous answers, I always stick M Mouse on anything I have to sign here, no one even checks, I once signed on a concrete delivery note " concrete like pi**"

Hierarchical pee-nong info and related.

No need to panic they just want to know if you'll be the sibling that pays or plays.

They also ask for ethnicity, even when applying for something as trivial as free public wifi internet access. The choices are usually

Malay

Chinese

Indian

other

My family name, though European, can be mistaken for Chinese, which can be a problem. The worst that has happened so far was about ten years ago, when boarding a Malaysian Airlines flight in KL I had a reception committee waiting for me, three airline guys and two armed policemen. When the gal at the gate saw my boarding pass she mumbled something and they all came out from hiding. They seemed as surprised as I was. "This is you?" was the main question. They wanted to see the credit card I used to buy the ticket online, and of course passport. It was all over soon enough, the lead guy mumbling something about suspicious credit card transactions.

Sometimes passing for a local is not a positive.

In Krabi, I signed a traffic ticket "Daffy Duck," and the cop looked at it a bit, compared it with my license, then nodded and said, Thank you.

You should have signed it "Who gives a Daffy Duck" to confuse them even more!!!

Funny thing was, I had to fill out a form (this just for no helmet) that asked both my parents' names.

One was Goofy, can't remember the other.

If you look a bit like your AV the name of your other parent would be Moose

How else are they going to know if you're the offspring of (and where you are on the inheritance ladder), or married to a hi-so and they need to treat you appropriately?
