Welcome back to the applicants to hired masterclass. In this section, we're going to be going over exactly once you have sent off your resume, once you've crafted it you generated together, what do you need to know from here on out? And believe it or not, there are a lot of there are a lot of things that the most people aren't aware of. Primarily just because they, they simply just don't know. And it's, it's not because out of you know that they're stubborn or anything like it's just out of ignorance, you won't know any better. But remember, looking back in the other sections, we were talking about your role of whatever it is that you plan on applying for and your responsibilities, what do you have to do in that role?
But I also listed another art in that and it's called your rights, what are your rights as an employee, and a lot of people oversee that. Now every workplace is going to be different and I say this because I myself have been in positions where the person who was above me wasn't the best person to work for So going from here, there's a couple of legal things that I do want to talk about. Now I am by no way an attorney, or a Certified Professional Human Resources manager. But I do understand enough about what can and cannot be asked, mainly because I also was a recruiter for corporate America. And this was something that was embedded in my mind set whenever I was screening candidates for the title seven of the Civil Rights Act, you're protected that employers cannot determine your employment depending on your race, national origin, ethnicity, color, sex, age, marital status, and also the American Disabilities Act.
They cannot discriminate your employment for your physical or mental disabilities or anything like that. Now because I am not an attorney, I do want to post some resources down below in your resources section, just to give you a little bit of insight of what you should be looking for So if you ever come across an employer who's asking if you're married or not, that is not something that can ask. Now, if you openly share that you're married, or let's say you have a ring on your left finger, yes, those are indicators. But those indicators cannot be addressed in that moment, or at least that's what's based on the EEOC or Civil Rights Act. The EEOC is the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and they're the ones that essentially oversee stuff like that. So again, I'm a post those resources down for you because I do want you to know that you are protected anytime you apply for a job.
Now, there are some some some limitations. So guys, do your due diligence of getting all that information figured out. So again, just note that when you start getting phone calls and screen calls and screening emails, you are protected. And there are certain things that employer cannot ask you, but also that's this is for your own protection as well. That wraps it up This section just wants to give you a brief overview. Let's go ahead and get into the next one.
