Have you ever wondered if you need to disclose your disability to an employer, or what to do if you have a criminal record – is there anybody out there that will give you a chance? Or have you felt unsure about including your date of birth on your CV? If so, this content is what you need.
For example, did you know that criminal convictions become ‘spent’ after a certain period of time, depending on the sentence for the offense? After this time, depending on the nature of the work or training you are applying for, you don’t need to disclose your conviction to an employer.
You might also not be aware that you don’t have to disclose how old you are on a CV. Many employers no longer ask for date of birth, dates of employment and education on application forms anymore.
If you want to know more about these issues and find information on subjects such as gender-positive employers, disclosing your race to employers, this is the content you need. http://targetjobs.co.uk/careers-advice/equality-and-diversity
