    If an agent would like to make a request on your behalf as permitted by applicable law, the agent may use the submission methods noted in the section entitled “Individual Requests.”  As part of our verification process, we may request that the agent provide, as applicable, proof concerning their status as an authorized agent.  In addition, we may require that you verify your identity as described in the section entitled “Individual Requests” or confirm that you provided the agent permission to submit the request.

    Diversity

    In certain cases we will ask questions about race/ethnic origin, gender, and disability of our job applicants, for monitoring equal opportunity.  We may also inquire about criminal records, where permitted by applicable law.  Otherwise, we ask that you avoid submitting information that may qualify as sensitive information under applicable law, except where such information is legally required.  We are an equal opportunity employer, which means we offer equal treatment to all job applicants consistent with applicable law.  We do not unlawfully discriminate, either directly or indirectly, based on characteristics protected by applicable law, such as: race, ethnicity, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, nationality, national origin, ethnic origin, religion, beliefs or creed, age, disability, marital status, veteran status or genetic information in any area of recruitment.

    Applicant Obligations

    Any information you submit to us must be true, complete and not misleading.  Submitting inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading information may lead to a rejection of your job application during the application process or disciplinary action including immediate termination of employment.  In addition, it is your responsibility to ensure that information you submit does not violate any third party’s rights.  If you provide us with Personal Information of a reference or any other individual as part of your application, it is your responsibility to obtain consent from that individual prior to providing the information to us.
