Why would a prospective employer be interested in your health?

A prospective employer may be interested in your health because many employers pay a portion of their employees' health insurance. Health insurance premiums may be higher if you are in poor health or a regular smoker. However, a potential employer is not legally allowed to ask questions about health during an interview.


If you believe you were wrongfully terminated for a reason that could cause a major problem in finding another job what can you write under 'reason for leaving'?

This has happened to me and what i did was i always put in, scheduling conflicts. Like if you can only work X amount of hours or if they change your schedule without telling you. Just remember that by law, when calling a reference, the reference is not allowed to disclose how much you made or if you were terminated or not. Employers aren't to ask and if they do, the reference is not allowed to tell. Hope this helps.
