  potential employers only probe on ur family background in a simplified way;
  
  1) Are your parents working? Working as?
  2) Any siblings? Working / Studying?
  
  They won't ask about boyfriends, reason for divorcing, who stays with who. They went abit too far.
  
  Sometimes from your simple family background, tells alot about you. For eg, whether are you from a good income family (if you are, they might perceive you as too pampered) And your ranking in your family. Eldest, show more responsibilities, youngest are normally risk takers.

  the recruitment agencies really CMI.
  they care more about their own commission than the type of job you're looking for.
  
  last time got 1 recruitment company in International Plaza ask me to do one job for her when i'm looking for a perm job, spanning 2 weeks.
  she begged me like desperado and told me that after the job, i can still look for other jobs. KNN!
  no commission is it????!!!!!

  They have their reasons for it. If you are in the air force even the cleaner will ask these questions. And more detailed.
  
  Sometime they just want to be sure what that you does not bleach the act of confidentiality.

  Sorry i strongly disagree with what you had said.....if there are trade secrets, they can have a undisclosure clause/form/agreement for the employee to sign while hired. I had sign this type docs before when i used to work in as a temp in a MNC. I don't think this is a very valid reason for to to ask those questions.

  In certain industries, employers wish to know more about your background as well. Like where your folks work, or siblings working in any particular industries. Sometimes, you end up as the liability towards the company you intend to work with instead because you might be expose to things you're not allowed to tell others outside. Even the smallest companies have their trade secrets too.

  If I am the boss of the company with sensitive technology... I would ask you clearly first before signing the clause. The clause means nothing if you still do it in secret? Why not I play safe and hire the right person first? How many times in your life have you promised something and not do it? The clause for you to sign is just a paper tiger used only with available.
  
  Simply said dun answer then don't work here lor. Since you are so pissed then don't answer and go find else where I can always find someone else... Why so bothered with someone's requirement.
  
  I think EEO has nothign to do with confidentiality. It is more to gender and age.

  We are all aware of undisclosure clause/form/agreement that come into effect with your contract of employment or after contract termination. But to what effect does it actually have? C'mon, If you yak yak something you know you shouldn't yak yak it to, would you go around telling the world you yak yak it to who you shouldn't yak yak to? I don't think so.
