Hello,
bit off topic but I hope I dont get too much abuse.
I am applying for a job in IT, one of the question asked is this:

What is your understanding and awareness of legislation and issues affecting
IT?

Can anybody give some ideas of what might be sensible to write? I am a bit
stuck.

Many thanks

The content of the question sounds more like you are in school and this is a homework
assignment

No employer is going to ask about "awareness of legislation". Additionally this is an
International news group and legislation in the UK will be different from other countries.

For Multi-Posting this question, cheeting on your assignment and for choosing the correct
target audience... you don't belong in IT.

If you don't know the answer, since it appears that they expect you to
already be aware of the legalities, it would appear that you're not the
person for the job if you can't find the answer on your own.

Put down "none" since you don't have awareness because you don't know how to
answer the question.

Or put down "I do what management tells me to do since my job depends on me
performing the tasks to which I am assigned. I investigate externally
dependent issues based on what tasks I am performing at the time. Ain't the
web great for looking up information and doing research."

You certainly don't have the qualifications for the job.
