Q
I was being screened for
a possible job position
when this company's HR department
requested for personal documents
like SSS, TIN, Pag-Ibig
documents, residence certificate,
witholding tax certificate,
bank account number and
such. I was told that though
my getting hired remained
uncertain, they needed these
documents to probe my background
further. I balked at giving
them this information. Did
I do the right thing?

Pre-employment
Folly
A
The request is a folly, to say
the least. Within the Kaizen context,
it's called muda or non-value
added things which can clutter
one's work table, irritate job
applicants or both.
Would
the request be part of the pre-employment
screening process? I doubt it
much. You cannot use an SSS identification
card in determining a person's
character or work compatibility.
Other
than your academic transcript
and NBI/ Police clearance, your
prospect cannot ask for more,
until there is a formal offer
of employment.
Your
concern now is how to convince
the employer without antagonism
that you are a valuable candidate,
without having to needlessly furnish
the above documents.
