Hi All!

I reviewed some of your comments and I think they're great! However, a big word of caution to those doing resume screenings and interviews...know the laws. The last thing you want to do is get caught up in a discrimination case because you asked the wrong questions. While some are obvious not to ask, others are more tricky as well as comments and "general" conversation you may make. I strongly suggest getting an HR Legal college level textbook to review. This will help you understand what is standard and legal and avoid any conflicts.

Also, if your client asks you to prepare an email policy and any policies for that matter...it may seem very simple, but there are certain things you cannot require of employees and certain privacy provisions exists. Just take this into account.

As a new VA, i'm not sure if it would be good to have the client sign a waiver and for myself...i think this definitely crosses over into being a specialized consultant area. You're not only reviewing the doc for accuracy...you're reviewing it for compliance. If they are an HR Professional themselves and just want something to look good and professional that's one thing, but if they've never done anything HR...they may be depending on you to tell them if what they're asking/requiring is compliant.
