Default Anyone from the fair who’s taken the Hogan

To anyone who’s taken the Hogan recently... is there a spectrum or range when answering questions, or is it just a simple “Agree” or “Disagree”?

Thanks in advance.

IANAL, but that sounds like it would be a potential legal problem for UAL if they were asking questions like that in an interview. I seriously doubt they would go there, because it would probably open them up to a potential lawsuit over things like HIPPA and so on. Also due to HIPPA, if they ask about your sick time usage, they certainly can't ask why you were calling in sick, so it really gives them no useful information about your dependability. It might even edge into legal issues for UAL to even ask your previous employer about your sick time usage. I'm calling BS on the story, I doubt they'd ask anything.

I know Delta asks how many times you call in sick,or used to, could have gone the way of the rocking chair. I don’t think they can ask why. When I was at UND, Delta mainline recruiters would come in To try and get everyone jazzed up about Delta but then go on a tangent about what they ask in the interview. They had stories about people calling out sick to attend the interview and then admitting it. Or it was a scare tactic to a bunch of college kids

Don’t call in sick for the interview or recruiting events. Bad juju. Was never asked about sick calls at work.

See below. But they wouldn't be so dumb (mostly) without going about it the proper way. They CAN do it, as long as the candidate gives the authorization, a la DAL. Don't want to give the authorization? That's fine, guess you don't want to really interview there either.

Now, just because a candidate signs the form that DAL can ask, as well as pose that question to the candidates employer there's NOTHING that says the current/former employer has to answer it.

And then it morphed into 3-4 more questions of "how many occasions have you missed work?" etc. To account for things like commute drops, fatigue calls, LOA, FMLA, etc.

Seems as if it wasn't so much about how many, simply whether or not the candidate was telling the truth SHOULD the employer decide to divulge said information.

Thanks for the update and congrats! Go get ‘em.

Seems to have gotten a bit quiet, but I think they are far from done.

How is everyone looking this week? Crickets still or "be patient" emails?
