So, by now, I think that everyone has seen the administration questionnaire that potential high level employees must fill out to be considered for position. I took one look and decided it was a cruel joke, but apparently it wasn't.
Aside from consulting your pastor, spouse, psychiatrist, psychologist, elementary school teachers, jumpoffs, children, friends of your childrens, parents of the friends of your children, lawyers, publicists, God, all email records, phone records, college roommates, high school acquaintances, among others to accurately fill out forms; wouldn't it be great if they could intersperse some light-hearted questions?
For example, after number 18, which solicits information about affiliation with embattled financial institutions that are currently receiving government funds; wouldn't it be cool if it were followed up by question 19 which asks: "Over the last 10 years, how many times have you caught somebody checking your fresh?"
Aside from the the fact that people are withdrawing their names from consideration for positions, people are probably going to be planning on divorces by the time they are finished with this questionnaire. Others still will be bitch slapping skeletons back into closets.
It is reasonable to understand the motives behind the need for this information, however it is beyond evasive and borders on being unconstitutional. There is no way that the administration will know everything about a person's life, character or the character of their families and associates before they are hired. It is important with the popularity of the internet to request this information that can be quite easily accessed by fast fingered bloggers, but where and how do you draw the line without turning people away?
