Can't apply for jobs without agreeing to privacy policy, agreeing to spam calls and emails. How do we fix this? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I've heard of people getting VOIP numbers but not sure how this works.

I tried to get an extra number to forward, but those sites ask you to agree to the same privacy violations. I'm so pissed.

What can we do to recieve phone calls for jobs without signing up for endless spam?

That’s just what I remember from applying, and this page seems to have the reasoning why. The wording even here is very unnecessarily complicated to me tbh and the application was also unnecessarily complicated and demanding, no idea why they’d need to see my lease as well, giant companies can do anything they want. What, am I gonna sue USPS?

    They can get med info if needed for the job. I've had to do it for very specific functions. Since driving mail around is demanding and important, I could see why they might need to know if you are about to have a heart attack or if you have serious mental health issues.
