Employment
laws that prohibit discrimination
in the workplace apply to interviews
as well.
As a result, questions
that probe race, national origin,
sexual orientation, religion,
age, marital status, family
situation, or disabilities are
illegitimate
in an interview.
However, many
interviewers are not familiar
enough with the law to know
when they have passed into
potentially discriminatory territory. A
few
interviewers ask illegal
questions reasoning that they
are protected
by your desire to obtain
the job. In either case, dealing
with illicit questions is
delicate.
Know what can
be asked, what cannot, and
what to do if
the interviewer asks anyway.
