I&#x27;m skeptical that it makes a huge difference.  After all, US employers are pretty cautious about giving real information when contacted - the questions may be legal, but you can still get sued over the answers.  Most of the &quot;real&quot; information in either setting flows informally.<p>It can&#x27;t help, but it&#x27;s hard to imagine that&#x27;s anywhere near the top of France&#x27;s legislative issues.
