I need some opinions (and lord knows, we've all got those.) I am in the job market again. And still saddled with an IPN contract and all the rattling soup cans that you drag when in this situation.
I have never found it that hard to get the interview, because I do not even breathe a word of this to the HR person. I wait and address it in the interview. That can lead to the interview going nowhere but at least I got my foot in the door. The way I see it, it is a good bet that the HR person has no idea what IPN even is. The moment they see words like "monitoring" the app goes in the circular file. Besides, if the hiring manager wants me bad enough, they can usually do the wrangling with HR for me.
Anyway, I digress. I dug out the contract and found the original, which has no names of docs, etc. filled out. What i am wondering is when you actually get a job, how much of the "fill in the blank" info to you provide to your employer? By this I mean things like the name of your therapist, if that is a stipulation, the name of your psychiatrist, personal physician and the like? I know IPN demands that information (don't get me started on that topic) but, especially since a copy was in my HR file at the last job I worked, which made me a little nervous, I don't feel like it's appropriate for not only your supervisor but random HR people and whatever auditors might review your file to know this information.
I'm not sure that anyone would actually do anything with this information, but my privacy and dignity have been violated enough with this mess. i don't really feel like doing the equivalent of tattooing IPN on my forehead. In the small place I most recently worked, it was near impossible to hide anything (for several reasons, not of which I will go into here) personal.
The copy I am going to tote to my interview (already have one, yay!) has that info left blank. I would rather leave it that way, because things like this are none of my employers business. Agree, disagree??
