I picked refuse, but for me anyway these are not the right choices. If it was a job I didn't really want that much I would refuse. If it was a job I wanted a whole lot, I would give them the info. As far as I am concerned, refusing is essentially me purchasing a luxury consumable, not behaving like a job-offer maximizing machine, which is how you should behave if you want the best possible job at the best possible pay. The purpose of applying for a job is not for me to educate the world or give it feedback on how it "should" behave. The purpose is for me to get job offers.
