According to Shannon Taylor of Telus (human resources director) says that sharing confidential information about a current employer would be disqualify from a job postion, if the company ask about it during the job interview which proves the company will not be discrete and is quite unethical. In Sept. 30, 2006 career section of Edmonton Journal, but was written by Paul Luke for the Vancouver Province. To me, it looks like someone who looking for a change of career or a better job with a resume’ that states a current employer as part of the job history has no fair chance of getting the job postion long before a job interview.

Some interviewers use this trick (asking for confidential information about your current employer) to test the interviewee’s ethics. If you are willing to spill proprietary info about your current employer, why wouldn’t you do the same thing to them? Which is why doing this usually disqualifies you from getting the position. Employers want to know they can depend on you to be loyal, discreet, and ethical. Giving away “insider info” is not a way to make them believe you are trustworthy. Not only that, but your current employer could take legal action against you, as well as firing you, for sharing that info.
There’s nothing wrong with telling an interviewer, “The information you’re requesting is proprietary, and it would be a breach of my ethics and the law to share it with you.”
It is better to get our resume written by professionals as it would boost our chances of employment. Try the links in http://www.thequickinfo.com/resume/ and try for resume writing by professionals.
I’m not sure if I quite understand your question, but I’ll take a stab at it. I think what Shannon Taylor may have meant by “confidential information” is something along the lines as proprietary information. Prospective employers need to get a feel for your background and they only way to do this is to ask about your current position. What you cannot/should not tell is specific tools, methodologies, software, ect. used only by that company.
The majority of job seekers who are still in a job will put the current position from their start to date and list “current” if they are still employed with the company.
Make sense?
