job applications

is it me, or are job applications getting longer and wanting more private information?i also feel that if employers were required to provide the same information to prospective employees, then, they (the employers)would greatly reduce the information required from prospective employees.i mean i would like to know if who i might work for is a scum bag.i think every employer(who ever is the head person of the company)should have to give up any information that they require from anyone else.i would love to know my employers history-hobbies-address for last 15 years-schools went to-credit report-drivers license copy-social security number-criminal background-personal references-job history and then subject them to a drug test,just to make sure the employer is worth working for.just ask any employer to provide you that same info from them that they get from you and they will look at you like an idiot.i am from the school of "an even swap aint no swindle"who else feels that to much personal info that has nothing to do with the job is required on job applications now days? and do you think it would be fair to require employers to provide the prospective employee the same information?
